Board approves Forks Middle School education specifications and moves ahead on state D-form timeline
Summary
The board approved educational specifications for a proposed Forks Middle School and discussed OSPI D-form requirements; staff said D5 is due 12/09/2026 and that earlier submission timing secured an estimated $4–5 million boost in state funding.
The board reviewed and approved educational specifications for a proposed Forks Middle School and heard a consultant explain the OSPI D-form process required to pursue state funding for a bond-funded replacement project.
The presenter described the D1/D3/D4/D5 sequence and said the district had submitted earlier forms to capture a larger state allocation tied to prior enrollment timing. He detailed typical space allocations (the net instructional area shown near 56,000 square feet and an estimated gross building footprint near 70,000 square feet when circulation and wall thicknesses are included) and listed required deliverables for the D5 submittal: a resolution addressing racial imbalance, proof of capital funds/intent to front-fund with state reimbursement, SEPA/CPAR documents, construction-management plans, and a Washington Sustainable Schools Protocol (WSSP) scorecard.
The board adopted a resolution certifying the site would not cause or worsen racial imbalance (Resolution 18-2526) and then adopted Resolution 19-2526 approving the Forks Middle School educational specifications. The consultant noted the D5 due date of 12/09/2026 and explained that certain approvals (CPAR) are only possible once a bond passes and that CPAR meets periodically.
