Wenatchee School District says bond will preserve large portions of Wenatchee High, save taxpayers about $20 million
Summary
Superintendent Corey Kelleher said the district's proposed bond would preserve roughly 100,000 square feet of Wenatchee High School and modernize those spaces rather than demolish them, which he said "saves taxpayers over $20,000,000."
Superintendent Corey Kelleher of the Wenatchee School District said the district's bond proposal takes "a very thoughtful approach" to the high school renovation by preserving large, structurally sound spaces rather than tearing the building down. He said that approach reduces cost and disruption and "saves taxpayers over $20,000,000."
Kelleher said roughly "100,000 square feet, preserved, renovated, modernized," will remain in the building under the proposal and that retained spaces will continue to serve students and community events for years. He closed by directing viewers to the district's bond web page for more information and said future FAQ segments will address student relocation during construction and outdoor athletic and parking improvements.
