How to Sell BEX IV?
The Times has two stories about levies/bonds that make me wonder how the district, via the Schools First group who does the levy/bond campaigns, is going to sell BEX IV.
The first story is a round-up of Eastside capital bonds on the ballot Tuesday.
Mercer Island wants to renovate ALL its schools - 3 elementaries, 1 middle and upgrades at their only high school. Interestingly, opponents think they should build a new elementary to end the overcrowding at the elementaries. Their bond is for $193.3M.
Issaquah is asking for $219.1M and has no opposition.
Renton is trying again to pass a $97M for a new middle school. They almost passed it in Feb. but it only received 58% of the vote rather than the needed 60%. That election also saw all the operations levies on the ballot pass.
Now you may have noticed that the Eastside elections are for bonds but Seattle Schools cannot chance a bond
