With all due respect to the individual LWSD and Juanita High School board members who recently endorsed the levy, there is no space crisis. The district has just refused to use some of the money earmarked for modernization and other means to handle the long anticipated increase in east side enrollment in a timely manner. Using a little of that money to handle the extra kids would not cause the voters to lose trust in the district to do what they promise. That trust was already lost when they continued to tear down and replace our schools instead of modernizing them, as they promised in the two bond issues we approved. There should be more than enough money left from those bond issues to both modernize the schools left in phase 2 together with handling the growth. Passing the levy will only encourage the district to proceed with their replacement policy instead.
