History of the Citizens' Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) & Past Members

  • The Snohomish School District Board of Directors established a broad-based, independent Citizens’ Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) in March 2003. This committee was asked to evaluate the condition of all district facilities and make recommendations for improvements and additional school facilities based on enrollment projections. To get this done, committee members spent 2,800 hours getting to the heart of matters in our schools. They:

    • Personally visited every school.
    • Worked with experts to complete detailed assessments of every facility.
    • Studied space and program standards and the effects of different grade configurations.
    • Presented their initial recommendation to the public in a series of forums.
    • Presented their final recommendation to the School Board, December 10, 2003.

    Based on the CFAC recommendations, a $141.5 capital facilities bond was placed before voters in May 2004.
