We all knew our jobs and joined together to successfully deliver your students home safely. Thank you also to the various city, county and state agencies. They kept us updated on road conditions and facilities status. While I hope never to have to go through a similar experience again, I am reassured knowing that when the time comes, we all do support one another. The school bond, now before the voters of North Kitsap, will fund the necessary renovations to the older schools and help ensure the safety of all our children and public employees.
Several classrooms are closed, pending a complete examination of possible damages.
Losing the use of these classrooms, even temporarily, adds to the serious overcrowding of the elementary schools. The Capital Facilities Task Force examined many possible solutions to the overcrowding. Its unanimous conclusion was to downsize these elementary schools. Because North Kitsap High School is overcrowded and future 9-12 enrollment will push it to half again it's designed size. This was the deciding reason why the Task Force recommended that the district build a new high school.
