Completed with the 2021–2026 Capital Project Levy
• Sealed exterior block and brick to address water intrusion
• Installed new hot-water boilers on the east end of the A Building (August 2021), replacing decades-old steam boilers. The newer system is smaller, heats water instead of steam, and improves operational safety and efficiency.
• Replaced classroom heating units in older building sections
• Replaced C-Building roof
• Replaced gym roof
Planned improvements if the replacement levy is approved
• 2027: Replace field turf at Janicki Fields
• 2027: Replace track surface
• 2028–2029: Janicki Fields drainage and infield improvements (Phases 1 and 2)
• 2030: Replace Janicki Fields restroom facility
• 2028: Window replacements
• 2032: Parking lot paving and maintenance
• 2032: Add three tennis courts
In addition to site-specific projects, the proposed levy supports ongoing districtwide facility, safety, and technology needs that benefit all schools, including the high 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
Planning note: Athletic facilities listed above are district-owned instructional and extracurricular facilities used for physical education, school activities, and WIAA-sanctioned events, and are maintained as part of the district’s overall facilities inventory. Projects shown reflect short-term recommendations developed for the proposed levy. Long-range facility planning is underway separately to assess future needs over the next 10–20 years.
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.
