Board approves resolution to place $34M Forks Middle School replacement bond on November ballot
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 10-25-26 to place a replacement bond (roughly $34 million over 25 years) on the November ballot, with staff citing urgency to secure approximately $21 million in state matching funds and the risk of reduced match if delayed past November 2026.
The Quillayute Valley School District board voted to adopt Resolution 10-25-26 to place a replacement bond for Forks Middle School on the November ballot. Staff told the board the bond proposal seeks approximately $34 million in local bonds over 25 years; when combined with state matching funds the total project could approach $55 million. Staff warned that missing the November filing deadline would reduce the state match by an estimated $5–$6 million.
Board members discussed timing and the implications for local timber dollars tied to bond passage; staff explained they must have debt in place to receive the timber distributions tied to school capital. The motion passed by voice vote and staff said they will proceed with county filings and outreach on the proposed bond.
