MARYSVILLE – The Marysville School Board is expected to pass a resolution tonight to put a $230 million construction bond on the April 26 ballot.
The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. at the district office.
The resolution would:
•Replace and equip Cascade and Liberty elementary schools.
•Replace and equip Marysville Middle School.
•Relocate and equip Totem Middle School within the Arts and Technology High School building.
•Repurpose and renovate vacated Totem to meet future needs.
•Construct and equip a new fifth middle school on a new school site.
•Replace or modernize and equip Marysville-Pilchuck High School.
•Relocate and equip Arts and Tech on the M-P campus.
The bonds also would include funds to provide district-wide health and safety improvements, including:
•School roof, painting and siding, and heating system replacements.
•Upgrade of electrical, fire alarm, plumbing, and window and door systems.
•Replacement of parking areas in disrepair, and portables.
•Establishing safe bus loading zones.
•Costs associated with needed furniture and equipment along with services such as architecture, engineering, consulting, inspection, testing and administrative and relocation expenses.
The $230 million would be raised over 20 years. The state is expected to chip in $62.4 million. Cost per $1,000 valuation is expected to be $1.25, meaning someone with a $250,000 piece of property would pay $312 a year.
