Board members said the district is on the legislature's list for a $6,000,000 modernization upgrade grant and expects a planning grant in spring 2026 with funds arriving in fall 2027; HVAC work and other facility projects were cited as priorities.
Board members told the Washtucna School District meeting that the district is on a legislative list for a modernization upgrade grant worth $6,000,000 and outlined a possible timeline. A board member said, "we got on the list or for the modernization upgrade grants, a $6,000,000 grant," and added the district would likely receive a planning grant in spring 2026 with construction funds arriving in fall 2027.
Officials said the funding could allow significant work, including HVAC replacement and other facility upgrades.

No formal vote was taken on a project list at the meeting; board members said they are awaiting the formal grant award and further guidance from the state.
