Eastmont School District Community Feedback Survey

Help Shape the Future of Eastmont Schools

Dear Parents, Staff, and the Eastmont Community,

Over the past school year, a dedicated group of 39 community members has worked tirelessly to analyze our enrollment projections, program needs, and the current state of our facilities. On May 11th, this committee presented a formal recommendation to the Eastmont School Board: a bond measure to rebuild Cascade, Kenroy, and Lee Elementary Schools.

The committee’s findings indicate that rebuilding is the most financially responsible long-term path for our district. As a member of this committee myself, I witnessed firsthand the rigor and debate required to reach a 100% consensus on this recommendation. On behalf of the Board, I want to extend a sincere thank you to these volunteers for their commitment to our students’ future.

Summary of the Recommendation
The Community Facility Study Committee’s proposal focuses on several critical priorities:

- Replacing Aging Infrastructure: Rebuilding Cascade, Kenroy, and Lee—schools that are heavily over-capacity and rely on portable classrooms over 30 years old.
- Enhancing Safety & Functionality: Modernizing buildings to improve security, reliability, and the daily learning environment for students and staff.
- District-Wide Maintenance: Addressing essential repairs and maintenance across all district facilities.
- Fiscal Responsibility: Taking a practical, long-term approach to facility care and leveraging estimated state funding to reduce the local tax burden.

We Value Your Input
In keeping with our commitment to fiscal stewardship, transparency, and effective management, the Board will not make a final decision without hearing from you.

Your feedback is essential. It will help us understand community priorities, address your questions, and ensure our long-term planning aligns with the values of the Eastmont community. We invite you to review the [Committee Presentation] and share your perspectives with us.

Sincerely,

Whitney Smith Board President, Eastmont School District
