The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) plans to introduce a Capital Construction Levy on the November 5, 2024, ballot. This proposal was discussed at the Board of Directors meeting on May 20, 2024, in Redmond, Washington. The board will decide on this proposal in their next meeting on June 3, 2024.

The levy aims to renovate and expand four schools: Alcott Elementary, Smith Elementary, Kamiakin Middle School, and Evergreen Middle School. These schools have not been updated since the 1998 modernization program began.

Funds from the levy will also improve the fieldhouse and community pool at Juanita High School. These upgrades are part of the district's efforts to maintain safe and effective learning environments.

Dr. Jon Holmen, Superintendent of LWSD, stated the levy's role in maintaining high-quality educational facilities. He noted the district's commitment to meeting the community's educational standards.
