overwhelmingly approved a bond issue Tuesday that will fund construction of a
new high school. The project includes 72 percent new construction and 28
percent renovation on the current high school site. Approximately $2 million of
the bond will also be used to expand Franklin Elementary School in Pullman to
keep up with a projected increase in K-5 enrollment. The district hopes to
break ground on the new high school in 2014, and construction is expected to
take at least two years to complete.
