2025 Capital Bond

The West Linn-Wilsonville School Board is considering placing a Capital Bond measure on the November, 2025 ballot. Capital Bonds are an additional tax to the community that provide funding for building and facility construction projects, renovations, and maintenance across the school district. Pertinent Capital Bond information and documents can be found on this webpage. To provide the School Board with input about a possible Capital Bond, please fill out this online comment form. 

The Long Range Planning Committee first began updating the district’s Long Range Plan in October of 2023, following receipt of a 10-year enrollment projection report conducted by Flo Analytics. The district has experienced declining enrollment since the pandemic, with the 10-year projection showing continued enrollment decline over the next few years before evening out in approximately 10 years. Based on enrollment projections, the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) commissioned the Small Schools Task Force to analyze the district’s smallest primary schools and how facility upgrades should be prioritized in the future. Following a robust community engagement process, the School Board made the decision to maintain all 16 WLWV schools, prompting the LRPC to include projects for all existing schools in long range facilities planning. 

The LRPC submitted drafts of Part I and Part II of the Long Range Plan to the School Board in January of 2025, which included possible projects based on seven key themes and project importance. The seven themes include: 

• Accessible Facilities, 
• Athletics and Recreation, 
• Facility Equity and Stewardship, 
• Learning with Technology, 
• Safe and Welcoming Schools, 
• STEAM/CTE/Career Pathways, and 
• Sustainable and Resilient Facilities.
