EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Six-Year Capital Facilties Plan (the "Plan") has been prepared by the Issaquah School District as the district's principle planning document, in compliance with the requirements of Washington's Growth Management Act and King County Council Ordinance 21-A. This Pian was prepared using data available in April 011999. This Plan is consistent with prior long-term Capital Facilities Plans adopted by the Issaquah School District. However, this Plan is not intended to be the sole Plan for all of the District's needs. The District may prepare interim and periodic Long Range Capital Facilities Plans consistent with board policies, taking into account a longer or a shorter time period, other factors and trends in the use of facilities, and other needs of the District as may be required. Any such plan or plans wil be consistent with this Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan. In June 1992, the District first submitted a request to King County to impose and to collect school impact fees on new developments in unincorporated King County. On November 16,1992, the King County Council first adopted the District's Plan and a fee implementing ordinance. This Plan is the annual update of the Six-Year Plan, With respect to the incorporated portions of the District, the City of Bellevue adopted the 1996 Plan and the impact fee ordinance on December 9,1996, the City of Issaquah adopted the 1996 Plan and impact fee ordinance on October 20, 1997, and the City of Newcastle adopted the 1996 Plan and impact fee ordinance on March 17,1997, with an Ordinance amending the extension date to June 30, 1998. The City 01 Renton adopted the district's 1998 Plan, with a modified fee, on April 26, 1999, and the the district wiil propose the 1999 Plan and an impact fee ordinance to the City of Sammamish in the falL. Pursuant to the requirements of the Growth Management Act, this Plan will be updated on an annual basis, and any charges in the fee scheduie(s) adjusted accordingly, -1- . STANDARD OF SERVICE The District's level of service is based on the number 01 classrooms available at each school and a desired average class load district-wide. This class load is expected to best promote the quality of education as expected by the residents of the Issaquah School District. Different classrooms sizes are used depending on the grade level or programs offered such as special education or gifted. In general, the District's current standard of service provides that class size lor grades K-4 should not exceed 23, class size for grades 5-8 should not exceed 26, and ciass size for grades 9-12 should not exceed 28. An average of 24 students per class is used for the K-5 class size. Special education class size is based on 12 students per class. For purposes of this analysis, rooms designed for special use, consistent with the provisions of King County Council Ordinance 21-A, are not considered classrooms, Invariably, some classrooms will have student loads greater in number than this average level of service, and some will be smaller. Program demands, state and federal requirements, collective bargaining agreements, and available funding may also affect this level 01 service in the years to come. Due to these variables, a grade span utilization factor is used to adjust design capacities to what a building may actually accommodate. Portables used as classrooms are used for interim purposes until permanent classrooms are available. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s) is either moved to another school as an interim classroom, or used for other purposes such as child care programs. TRIGGER OF CONSTRUCTION The 1999 Issaquah School District Capital Facilties Plan proposes the construction of three elementary schools, a middle school, modernization of three support facilities, expansion of two elementaries, purchase of portable classrooms, site improvements and land acquisition(s). Planning the need for new schoois is triggered by comparing our enrollment forecasts with our permanent capacity

As a Mexican, I can personally share that when my daughter was in third grade and my son in fifth, the national Presidential elections happened. Although my Middle School 8 husband and I never watched the news with them, both of our kids were feeling very anxious. We keep telling them that we were going to be OK, but many times when I picked them up High School 9 from school they burst into tears. Kids where asking them if we were going to have to leave the country or were somehow going to be in danger. Calendars 12 My daughter became so stressed about this issue that she asked for permission to say that I School Staff 14 was from Argentina or Ecuador, although I was born in Mexico and I am an American just like her.
