0

SPOKANE, Wash. – Spokane Public Schools (SPS) will propose a $200 million bond measure on the November 4, 2025, ballot following a unanimous decision by the SPS School Board on Wednesday, May 14.

This bond is part of the Together Spokane initiative, which also includes a 20-year Parks and Recreation levy approved by the Spokane City Council on May 5 for the same ballot. The initiative aims to implement more than 200 projects, contingent upon the passage of both measures.

Key projects under the SPS bond include rebuilding Adams Elementary and Madison Elementary, modernizing parts of North Central High School and Garry Middle School, and constructing a new Trades High School at Spokane Community College. Additionally, the bond will fund essential capital improvements across 66 schools, such as roof replacements, air system upgrades, safety and security enhancements, and technology updates.

The bond also aims to enhance athletic and activity infrastructure for students and the community. This includes an indoor aquatics center at Spokane Community College, to be operated in partnership with Spokane Parks and Recreation.

Community members can find detailed project information and updates on the SPS and Parks projects at TogetherSpokane.org. SPS encourages public feedback on the bond-specific projects through the SPS website.
