Proposed Bond Projects

Hilder Pearson was built in 1951. The current campus consists of 4 separate buildings, including 4 portable classrooms, with multiple points of entry which makes safety and security difficult to manage. There is no separate gym and cafeteria space which creates scheduling issues for specialist classes like physical education. There are no dedicated areas for small group or individualized instruction outside of the classroom. The school is also situated on a busy road and is on a multi-level, narrow property. Architect and design experts note that the size and shape of the property make replacement on the current location very difficult. Any replacement or modernization will displace students for several years.

David Wolfle Elementary was modernized with a new building in 1990. The current campus consists of 8 buildings, including portables, with multiple points of entry which makes safety and security difficult to manage. Wolfe staff and volunteers are currently utilizing hallways for individualized and small group instruction, since there are no spaces dedicated for this type of student support. Ingress and egress is a challenge with the current location of the building on the property and results in traffic backing up to highway 104. The facility has had ongoing challenges with major systems and infrastructure. Modernization of the existing building would require displacing students to other schools for two years. This displacement of students, along with the challenges of the current facility makes modernization of the current building not feasible.

The original Gordon Elementary master plan was never fully completed. It currently consists of 5 buildings, including portable units. This layout presents numerous entry points, posing challenges to safety and security. Finalizing the master plan will increase the school's capacity and improve safety and security by reducing the number of entry points.

Poulsbo Elementary consists of 7 buildings, including portables, with multiple points of entry which makes safety and security difficult to manage.

Vinland Elementary consists of 3 buildings, including portables, with multiple points of entry which makes safety and security difficult to manage. Ingress, egress, parking and accessibility to the school from nearby neighborhoods is very congested and creates traffic on main roads. This poses a safety risk for students and families accessing the school.

Poulsbo Middle school is currently under construction to add 10 classrooms with modern STEM classrooms and a gathering space for students. This addition attaches the main building to the existing lunchroom/gymnasium building. This project removes the portables and increases safety and security for students moving between buildings. The school does not have a dedicated commons area for serving meals and student gatherings. The science, art, and CTE classrooms are exposed to the outside of the school creating multiple points of entry, which makes safety and security difficult to manage. The Phase 2 project will address these concerns.

Established in 1990, Kingston Middle School remains structurally sound and offers ample space to accommodate its current and future student population. However, the interior elements, including flooring, wall coverings, furnishings, and entryways, show significant wear. To ensure a conducive and contemporary learning environment that meets the evolving needs of students and educators, these components are in pressing need of modern upgrades and replacements.

Capital improvements were made to the football/soccer field and track thanks to the voter approved 2018 and 2022 capital levies. The softball and baseball fields have had drainage issues that have resulted in competitions being canceled and hosted elsewhere. There are currently no permanent restrooms, concessions, or ticketing at the main football/soccer field, which results in an inability to host post-season play. There are currently no covered bleachers for spectators.
