The Washington School Board discussed the possibility of issuing a general obligation bond as well as refinancing their high school bonds during their most recent meeting.

The Board held a work session to discuss their five-year facility plan, with some priorities including parking lot improvements at the Stewart and Lincoln elementaries, updating high school restrooms to become ADA compliant, and asbestos abatement of the ceilings at Stewart Elementary. The Board also discussed the need to publicize their interest in holding a bond referendum vote to either renovate or build a new middle school. The Board plans to further discuss the project during a work session next month. During the regular meeting Superintendent Willie Stone mentioned the district starting the process of refinancing their high school bond, which could save the district $500,000.
