CERSD Capital Projects Levy 2025 - Maintaining what we have. Special Election February 11, 2025

Improving safety, updating classroom spaces, modernizing learning technology, and increasing access for all.

This February, local voters will be asked to renew a 3-year Capital Projects Levy. The proposed levy renews a previously approved local funding measure that supports facilities updates at a new amount.

If approved, the 2025 renewal levy would fund the following projects that allow the district to meet the needs of its students, make meaningful safety updates, and maintain Cle Elum-Roslyn facilities:

Prioritize Health & Safety

  • Install enhanced safety and security surveillance systems, and modern lockdown technologies and communications systems.

  • Add air conditioning to the elementary/middle school campus. The 1990 building currently has no cooling and safety protocols prohibit opening windows or propping doors.

  • Upgrade traffic flow designs, including improved and safer bus lanes and pedestrian walkways and repaved parking areas.

  • Perform track & field maintenance, including resurfacing track and improving throwing event areas.

Update Learning Spaces

  • Upgrade specialty classrooms, including library/digital media centers, special education spaces, STEAM education, and arts program spaces.

  • Update aging technology equipment and infrastructure used by students and staff; Relocating key fiber optic infrastructure and cooling for technology closets and racks.

  • Replace worn out classroom furniture, much of which is nearly 40 years old.

Improve Access

  • Construct covered walkways for portable classrooms and new preschool facilities.

  • Implement Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance projects to ensure accessibility for all students and the community (e.g. ramps, wheelchair access, electronic doors, handrails).
