Submitted by Lopez School District

At a public special board meeting on July 31, the Lopez Island School District Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve a resolution to place a $9.6 million capital projects bond request before the voters on the November 2014 election ballot. The capital projects bond would be used for fixing, renovating, and upgrading the Lopez and Decatur school campuses to address the need to bring the campuses up to safety, health and security standards. It will also be used for upgrading the classrooms and other spaces to further enhance the district’s efforts toward meeting educational standards, including technology. Public meetings and other means of sharing information about the bond will begin in early September. For more info, contact Superintendent Bill Evans at 468-2202 or bevans@lopez.k12.wa.us.
