Capital Bond Planning Task Force

Meetings will be held via Zoom, though there may be an occasion to meet in person when analysis of  detailed data is required. School site visits for Bond project consideration will be scheduled independent of scheduled meetings. Meetings will occur according to the below schedule until September 2025 when a recommendation is made to the school board. The Bond measure will be presented to the voters in February 2026. 

Following the passage of a bond, this team will receive periodic updates regarding projects related to the current bond cycle. 

It is also suggested, but not required, that members attend one or two Board Study Sessions and Board Meetings that include agenda items related to the Capital Bond (dates to be determined). There may be a minimal amount of outside reading to prepare for several of the meetings.

The CBPTF includes community members, staff, parents/guardians, current Northshore high school students, and administrators representing all regions of the Northshore School District. Task force members will be selected from those who apply based on a wide range of experience, perspective and geographic locations, as well as a commitment to attend all meetings.

With the exception of staff members, residence within the Northshore School District is a requirement. Background and experience that are helpful for the CBPTF include, but are not limited to:

• Experience in capital planning; financial planning; commercial construction; facility management or construction management—preferably in a public education environment.
• Experience serving on committees requiring the ability to build consensus on complex topics.
• Ability to absorb complex data or issues and objectively prioritize a wide array of capital improvement needs while working within a confined budget.
• Growth and innovation mindset for learning environments.
• Effective listening skills and openness for all perspectives.
• Ability to compromise and build consensus.
