Community Participation
School Design Advisory Team (SDAT)

About the Project
This is a project to design and construct a replacement for Sacajawea Elementary School. It is currently funded for design only, and construction is expected to be included in the February 2025 capital levy.
The new school building will be approximately 82,000 square feet and designed to provide space for up to 550 students in PreK through grade 5. The new school will meet the criteria outlined in the elementary educational specifications for 500 students. Classroom clusters will surround learning commons. The school will include a library, gymnasium, commons/lunchroom, and other spaces designed for student educational success. Related site work will include parking, playfields, hillside improvements, and utilities.
