Miller discusses options for modernizing Wa-Hi

Walla Walla High School top facility need
District continues planning to help chart next move
Superintendent Mick Miller presented options for modernizing Walla Walla High School during last evenings school board public work session. Walla Walla High School ranks number one on the list of greatest need, according to the Community Facilities Task Forces 2010 study.

Miller showed construction options ranging in total project costs from $68 million to $82 million. The local bond contributions for these projects would approximately range from $47 million to $55 million. The difference between the total project costs and local bond contributions is made up from state matching dollars.

Miller would like to see the district move forward with a bond this school year to fund the modernization of Walla Walla High School. Board members would like additional information on how Lincoln High Schools needs will be met should the Wa-Hi project proceed. Miller will continue to seek input, discuss options and work with architects to get more information on Lincoln H.S.
