Voters in the Wenatchee School District can vote on a $275 million proposal to rebuild the high school and upgrade HVAC systems at seven schools.

The plan preserves 100,000 sqft of key facilities (gym, pool, auditorium) and expects up to $83 million in state matching funds.

Two North Central Washington daycares have received state funding to renovate their facilities—improving safety and care for children.

The Wenatchee School Board approved a bond measure to rebuild the high school, and voters will soon decide on the plan's final steps.

Officials say detailed facility plans will be shared after the vote passes.
