Over the past several years, levy funding has supported maintenance and repairs at Evergreen Elementary School. Below is a snapshot of completed work, projects starting this summer, items delayed due to rising construction costs, and improvements planned if voters approve the proposed replacement levy.

Completed with the 2021–2026 Capital Project Levy
• Replaced heater and ventilation system
• Replaced exterior siding
• Replaced gym floor to address safety concerns
• New carpet in several classrooms to replace original carpet from 1972

Starting Summer 2026 (Current Capital Levy)
• Plumbing system repairs (Phase 1) — addressing rusted pipes and significant blockages
• Replace and update restrooms to meet ADA standards

Projects delayed due to inflationary cost increases
• Flooring replacement (carpet and tile) — while some classroom carpet was replaced, the majority of classrooms' replacement carpet was delayed due to cost overruns on other projects; planned for completion if the replacement levy is approved
• Roof replacement — delayed due to cost overruns on other projects; planned for completion in 2029 if the replacement levy is approved

Planned improvements if the replacement levy is approved
• 2027: Plumbing system repairs (Phase 2)
• 2030: Replace heating and ventilation controls
• 2030: Phased remodel planning to address open concept issues
• 2032: Kitchen remodel to support food service operations

In addition to site-specific projects, the proposed levy supports ongoing districtwide facility, safety, and technology needs that benefit all schools, including each elementary 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

Planning note: Short-term levy projects were recommended through the Citizens Advisory Committee using facility maintenance data. Separately, the district is conducting long-range facility planning (10–20 years) to help guide future decisions.

The Sedro-Woolley School District has begun the search for its next Superintendent and invites families, staff, and community members to share their perspectives.

Join us for a Superintendent Search Community Forum to talk about what’s working well in our schools, what challenges we should be mindful of, and what matters most in our next Superintendent.
