Ferndale Building New School in 2007
Ferndale voters approved a $32.2 million bond to pay for new property, construction of a new school and improvements at several Ferndale district buildings.
In the fall, Ferndale purchased 29 acres of land off Church Road for a new school. The district is not sure yet whether the school will be a comprehensive high school or whether it will house an alternative high school program.
A bond proposal to build the school likely won’t go to voters until spring 2008 or 2009.
Construction on the school’s new elementary school, also on Church Road, is expected to begin this summer and finish in July or August 2008.
The biggest renovation project scheduled is Custer Elementary, with electrical, mechanical and plumbing upgrades and structural work needed. Seattle-based Rolluda Architects have completed their proposals for the project and the district is seeking staff and community feedback on the renovation options.
During the renovation, scheduled to begin in summer 2008, Custer students will move temporarily to the new elementary school.
Revisions to Skyline Elementary parking lot are complete. Upgrades are not yet done at Beach, Mountain View and North Bellingham elementary schools, Vista Middle School and the district’s transportation building. Work on Ferndale High is under way. Via Bellingham Herald
