Kokanee Elementary project delivery method was scheduled for school board approval
The Northshore School District board was scheduled to vote on using progressive design-build for the Kokanee Elementary project at its March 23, 2026 meeting; the supplied records do not show the result.
What the records say
Materials published ahead of the March 23, 2026 regular meeting list an action item titled 'Approval to Use the Progressive Design-Build (PDB) Project Delivery Method for Shelton View and Kokanee Elementary School Projects' 1. Because it was filed under action items with an attachment, the board was expected to vote on it rather than simply receive information 1. The item covered both the Shelton View and Kokanee Elementary projects; this brief focuses on the Kokanee portion 1. Progressive design-build is a contracting approach in which a builder joins the project during design so construction input can shape plans before the price is finalized. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.
- The board was scheduled to consider approving the Progressive Design-Build delivery method for the Kokanee Elementary School project at its March 23, 2026 regular meeting.
- The item was listed as an action item with an attachment, indicating a vote was expected rather than an information-only presentation.
- The same agenda item also covered the Shelton View Elementary project.
Why it matters
The delivery method a district chooses shapes how a school project is sequenced, how costs are locked in, and how the construction contract is awarded. For Kenmore families and taxpayers, this vote would set the contracting framework for the Kokanee Elementary project. The supplied records show only that the item was scheduled; they do not show whether the board approved it.
