VISION: TO AFFIRM AND INSPIRE EACH AND EVERY STUDENT TO LEARN AND THRIVE AS CREATORS OF THEIR FUTURE WORLD. 16 Why the largest bond proposal yet?

• Cost – Phase I cost per square foot was $277 for Total Project Budget. Current cost per square foot is $740. Construction costs are escalating at 6% per year. • Land Availability and Cost – Less and less land available especially the acreage needed for schools. Cost of land is over $400 a square foot in downtown Bellevue and over $200 a square foot in the Bel Red Corridor. • Enrollment – In 2001, district enrollment had been relatively flat since 1990. Start in 2005, district enrollment started growing and grew year over year until the last two years when enrollment was flat. • Building Size – With lack of land and growing enrollment, began building larger buildings to accommodate more students – • Phantom Lake (72,000 Sq. Feet) vs. Stevenson (107,000 Sq. Feet) • Tyee (135,000 Sq. Feet) vs. Tillicum (185,000 Sq. Feet) • Newport High School (225,000 Sq. Feet) vs. Sammamish High School (325,000 Sq. Feet)
