Cascade Middle School is one of two schools in the district with a fully equipped commercial kitchen. Along with Sedro-Woolley High School, it plays an important role in preparing meals for students across the district.
Cascade Middle School serves as the district’s central food production kitchen, producing approximately 3,000 meals per day for distribution to schools across the district. Sedro-Woolley High School operates as the second full-service kitchen, preparing meals for its approximately 1,200 students.
Cascade Middle School was remodeled and expanded as part of a voter-approved 2010 bond, which included a new addition and gym. That bond is nearing completion and is currently about $0.09 per $1,000 of assessed value, with final payoff scheduled in 2030.
Projects delayed due to inflationary cost increases
• Replacement of the original (older) gym roof and siding
Planned improvements if the replacement levy is approved
• 2028: Replace the original gym roof and siding
• 2032: Repair pervious concrete surfaces near building entrances
*Pervious concrete is a porous form of concrete designed to let rainwater pass through it rather than run off the surface. It helps reduce flooding and manage stormwater by allowing water to soak into the ground below. The City requires its use in specific locations as part of stormwater management regulations.
• 2032: Add a tilt skillet and additional food service equipment in the CMS kitchen
*A tilt skillet is a large piece of commercial kitchen equipment that functions like an oversized, temperature-controlled pan. It allows food service staff to cook large batches of food—such as soups, sauces, pasta, rice, or vegetables—and then safely pour the cooked food directly into containers for serving or transport. This equipment supports efficient, consistent meal production and helps maintain food safety when preparing meals for multiple schools.
In addition to site-specific projects, the proposed levy supports ongoing districtwide facility, safety, and technology needs that benefit all schools, including Cascade Middle School. These projects occur throughout the six-year levy period and are not tied to a single year or building.
• School Resource Officer support (in partnership with the City of Sedro-Woolley)
• Ongoing technology replacement and infrastructure support
• Security camera replacement and system maintenance
• Telephone system replacement
• Flooring replacement (carpet and tile)
• Student furniture replacement
• Exterior painting of district buildings
• Phased installation of air conditioning in district buildings beginning in 2030
Planning note: Short-term levy projects are developed through the Citizens Advisory Committee based on facility maintenance data. Separate long-range facility planning examines district facility needs over the next 10–20 years.
