Review of the voting questions

• Q5: How did you vote on the most recent school bond levy to build a third middle school?

• Q6: I would vote "yes" on a Spring 2014 $180-190M bond levy that would fund the following facilities projects: 1. Construct a sixth elementary school on the land owned by the Snoqualmie Valley School District near Deer Park on Snoqualmie Ridge to be completed in 2016. 2. Expand and modernize Mt Si High School to 2100 student capacity to be completed in 2019-2020. 3. Revert the freshman learning center facility back to a third middle school to be completed in 2019-2020. This option was presented as Option A in the school bond focus groups and is the preferred option of the Snoqualmie Valley School District School Board.

• Q7: I would vote "yes" on a Spring 2014 $30M bond levy just to construct a sixth elementary school on the land owned by the Snoqualmie Valley School District near Deer Park on Snoqualmie Ridge to be completed in 2016.
