District proposes new Lake Stevens Middle School building instead of modernization

What happened

The October 14 agenda scheduled board action on a resolution to pursue a new building in place of modernizing a selected building at Lake Stevens Middle School. The agenda does not establish whether the board approved the resolution or provide project scope, cost, or timeline.

Why it matters to families

Choosing new construction rather than modernization could materially change the facilities plan for Lake Stevens Middle School; the agenda identifies a proposed change in approach, but gives families no details about the building or implementation.

The evidence

The October 14, 2026 regular-session agenda lists under Decision Items: “Approval of Resolution 27-26 – New in Lieu of Modernization of selected building at Lake Stevens Middle School.” The supplied records contain the agenda and a special-session notice, but no minutes or resolution text confirming an outcome or giving further project details.
