The 1999 Legislature appropriated funds to acquire land and design a replacement, and the site will be ready for construction in April 2000. This request includes only the most significant emergencies which must be addressed before the next biennial capital budget cycle. In addition, the State Board is expected to ask the Legislature to authorize a request from Bates Technical College for approval to purchase the KSTW broadcast facility in Tacoma, and from Renton Technical College to purchase property for apprenticeship programs. These projects will be funded by the colleges but require legislative approval. In addition, the board has scheduled a dinner meeting Wednesday with Shoreline Community College trustees.
All meetings are open to the public.
