Petición de ajuste de límites Recientemente, el Distrito Escolar de Lake Washington aprobó una petición para transferir el territorio de Fallbrooke del Distrito Escolar de Riverview al suyo, después de que una sesión de negociación entre ambos distritos no logró llegar a un acuerdo mutuo en cuanto a la resolución de la petición. La Junta Directiva del Distrito Escolar de Riverview celebró posteriormente una reunión extraordinaria con comentarios públicos, que resultó en una votación unánime para denegar la petición y solicitó una audiencia formal ante el Comité Regional del Distrito de Servicios Educativos de Puget Sound. La audiencia es obligatoria cuando dos distritos escolares no logran un acuerdo sobre la resolución de una petición. La audiencia está programada tentativamente para el 29 de abril a las 18:00 h. El proceso de petición, según lo rige la ley del estado de Washington, implica varios pasos específicos diseñados para garantizar que se consideren exhaustivamente todos los impactos. Hemos recibido confirmación del comité de que se emitirá una decisión al concluir la audiencia. Esto supone un cambio con respecto al plazo inicial que nos dieron, según el cual el comité podría haber tardado hasta 30 días después de la audiencia para tomar su decisión. El presidente del comité nos ha asegurado que tomarán una decisión y nos la informarán la noche de la audiencia. Un estudiante de Riverview del vecindario de Fallbrooke habla frente a Entre las docenas de personas que hicieron comentarios a la Junta de Riverview, el estudiante solicitó que se denegara la petición. Quienes deseen participar tendrán la oportunidad de presentar sus comentarios públicos en persona durante la audiencia. Tengan en cuenta que cada orador tiene un límite de tres minutos.

Preguntas frecuentes Cómo puedes participar Cronología y proceso What is a boundary adjustment petition? A boundary adjustment petition is a formal request submitted by either citizens or a school district board to change the official boundaries of school districts. This process is governed by state law, specifically RCW 28A.315.195, which allows such changes to be proposed and evaluated based on a variety of educational and community interests. Who initiated the boundary adjustment petition for the Fallbrooke Territory? Some residents of the Fallbrooke Lake of the Woods East Phase 2 (including residents without school age children) submitted a petition to the Puget Sound Educational Service District (PSESD) proposing to transfer their territory from Riverview School District to the Lake Washington School District. This petition was officially verified by King County on August 6, 2024. What steps have been taken in the petition process? After receiving the verified petition, required negotiations were initiated between the Riverview and Lake Washington School Districts as mandated by RCW 28A.315.199(a). These negotiations, which included representatives from both districts, did not result in a consensus recommendation. Subsequently, the Lake Washington School District Board of Directors approved the petition on November 18, 2024. A more detailed process and progress description is included below. How many students reside within the proposed boundary adjustment area? There are currently 41 students residing in the Fallbrooke territory, with only five of the 41 opting to waive into the Lake Washington School District. The majority of families in this area have voiced strong opposition to the proposed boundary adjustment, emphasizing that their decision to purchase a home in the neighborhood was heavily influenced by the opportunity for their children to attend Riverview schools. What has been Riverview School District's response to the petition? Riverview School District analyzed the proposal and identified the likelihood of significant student, operational, and financial impacts if a portion of its territory were to be transferred to the Lake Washington School District. Riverview School District is engaging extensively with the community, gathering both oral and written comments, and provided a platform for public input during a special meeting held on Wednesday, December 4th. Following public comments at the Special Meeting, Riverview's Board of Directors voted unanimously to deny the petition for a boundary adjustment. What are the potential consequences if the boundary adjustment is ultimately approved? Approval of the petition would result in the transfer of both the property assessed valuation and basic education apportionment from Riverview School District to Lake Washington School District. This transfer of assets could significantly erode Riverview's tax base, increase the tax burden on remaining residents, and create broader financial disparities between the two districts. What is the long-term outlook for riverview if the boundary adjustment is approved? Among the most significant concerns associated with this proposed boundary adjustment is the precedent it would set. Riverview School District shares borders with several significantly larger school districts with greater financial resources. It is believed that approval of this adjustment will pave the way for additional territory transfer requests well into the future, resulting in cascading tax burdens for residents, and impose significant long-term challenges for Riverview schools. If the adjustment is approved, how would this precedent impact other school districts? This precedent would not only undermine the territorial integrity of Riverview School District, but also cause a ripple effect that will leave smaller school districts across Washington State increasingly vulnerable, with potentially serious consequences. There is a prevailing concern statewide, that approval of this boundary adjustment will trigger comparable movements in other districts that border larger ones with greater financial resources. In light of this situation, numerous small to mid-size school districts throughout the state are closely monitoring the results of this petition. Amid financial constraints already burdening most districts, the threat of similar adjustments adds additional layers of significant concern to an already full budgetary-plate. Intensified community tax burdens adding to long-term budgetary challenges, would result in financial pressures likely to undermine the ability of smaller districts to effectively serve their communities and maintain essential educational programs. What is the state process for a boundary decision, and where are we in that process? Riverview School District's Board of Directors took action to deny the petition at its Special Meeting on December 4th, and directed the Superintendent to notify the PSESD of its decision and request a formal hearing before the PSESD Regional Committee. The hearing will adjudicate the petition based on the statutory requirements, which include consideration of community impact and feedback. Citizens will have the opportunity to voice their opinions at the Regional Committee hearing. August 6, 2024 Petition Submission and Verification: The process began with the submission of a petition by some residents (with or without school age children) of the Fallbrooke territory, which was verified by King County for its validity in early August . November 5, 2024 Notification and Negotiations: After Riverview and Lake Washington School Districts were notified of the verified petition, and in alignment with RCW 28A.315.199(a), Riverview entered negotiations with Lake Washington to discuss the implications of the proposed boundary change. These negotiations were aimed at reaching a consensus that served the best interests of the educational communities involved. No consensus recommendation was reached between the two districts. November 18, 2024 Decision by Lake Washington School District School Board: After negotiations between the two districts failed, the Lake Washington School District board voted to approve the petition. December 4, 2024 Riverview School District Board Votes to Deny the Petition: Riverview School District hosted a special meting that included a public comment session to provide the community an overview and gather critical feedback from families and residents on Wednesday, December 4th. Following public comments, Riverview's Board voted to deny the petition. December 4, 2024 Request for Regional Committee Review: Riverview School District's Superintendent has submitted a request for a formal hearing before the Puget Sound Educational Service District's Regional Committee. This hearing, required when two school districts are unable to agree on disposition of a petition, will allow a third-party review of the petition and ensure that the decision is made in consideration of all statutory criteria. The PSESD will have 60 days to hold the hearing. Hearing Scheduled for March 4, 2025, 6:00 p.m. has been postponed: Regional Committee Hearing: Riverview encourages all families to stay engaged, as their input and support are vital during this process. Attend the Regional Committee Hearing: The regional committee hearing on the petition to adjust boundaries will include opportunity for public comment. We encourage all residents to attend, and share their voices. Riverview will notify the community of the meeting details when it is officially scheduled. Stay informed: Look for updates from Riverview School District and plan to participate in future public meetings on the matter.

Tolt’s aging systems—like HVAC and electrical—are far beyond repair and would be too costly to upgrade and maintain. Additionally, the current building is not ideally suited for today's safety standards. Tolt's aging classrooms are undersized and outdated; some science rooms lack water, and the school's auditorium is not large enough to fit all of its students. A new Tolt will include modern classrooms for science, career and technical education, and collaborative learning, preparing students for high school and beyond.

Distrito Escolar Riverview Preguntas frecuentes sobre el impuesto de reemplazo de 2022 (Preguntas frecuentes) The Riverview School District wants our community informed on the upcoming Replacement Levy elections on the February 8, 2022 ballot. Riverview School District will be asking voters to consider approval of two replacement levies: Proposition #1: Educational Programs and Operations (EP & O) Proposition #2: Technology and Capital Projects Here is a list of common, frequently asked questions regarding levies, levy elections, and other details around the levy process and Riverview's upcoming levy propositions for the February 2022 election. Q: What is a school levy? A: School levies are local property taxes, approved by voters of a school district. Levies generate revenue to fund programs and services the state does not fund, or fully fund, as part of a student's basic education. Levies are crucial in maintaining the services, educational opportunities, technology, and staffing required for our students to achieve success. Every four years, the Riverview School District, and districts across the state, ask voters to renew levies to continue to provide educational experiences that our students, staff, and families expect and deserve. Q: You say these are "replacement levies." Are these new taxes I'm being asked to pay? A: Replacement levies are not new taxes, they are replacements for current levies scheduled to expire. Riverview School District's existing levies were approved by voters in 2018 and expire at the conclusion of 2022. Collection for these replacement levies will occur in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Q: Have voters in the Riverview School District supported school levies in the past? A: Yes. The Riverview School District has had community support for school levies consistently over time. The Educational Programs & Operations Levy has passed continually since 1992, while the Technology & Capital Projects levy has passed continually since 2004. Q: How much will this cost me? A: A levy rate is the amount of property tax voters approve to be assessed for every $1,000 of property value. A spreadsheet of tax rates per $1,000 Assessed Value is available by clicking here . In 2020, the King County Assessor's Office shared that median home prices in Carnation are $493,000, while Duvall median home prices are $551,000. Schools do not receive more money as property values increase. Levies are based on a fixed dollar amount, not a percentage of assessed property value. When voters approve a levy, they authorize the school district to collect a fixed dollar amount. As property values increase, and more people share in paying that fixed amount, the combined local tax rate for schools stays about the same or often decreases. If property values decrease, then the opposite happens because of the fixed dollar amount to be collected. Q: Are there tax exemptions for senior citizens or disabled persons? A: Yes. Homeowners aged 61 or over, those permanently retired due to a disability, as well as some veteran families, may be eligible for a property tax deferral or exemption from local voter-approved property taxes, including school levies and bonds. The Washington State Legislature recently changed its eligibility requirements for exemption and deferral programs, so be sure to check their website for details to learn if you qualify: https://kingcounty.gov/depts/assessor/TaxRelief.aspx . If you have questions, please call the King County Assessor’s Office at 206-296-3920. Q: What are some specifics these levies will pay for in Riverview School District? A: Most of the levy funds are used to add and support staffing needs across most programs in our district. For example, in terms of staffing, levy dollars pay for Student Safety Officers (SSOs), several members of our district nursing team, custodians, Educational Assistants (EAs), some teachers, specialists (Music, Art, Physical Education), counselors, coaches, advisors, support staff, and our entire Technology team (outside of the Director position). Levy dollars touch a multitude of programs including special education services, safety and security needs, Summer School opportunities, Highly Capable programs, and basic education needs including smaller class sizes and more. Additionally, levy dollars support learning technology (software licensing, student devices, classroom upgrades), enhance school safety and network infrastructure, sustain necessary technology staffing, while also providing training related to the integration of technology. In addition, the replacement levies support ongoing maintenance and building improvements, the addition of portable classrooms, and make other capital project expenditures possible, as deemed necessary by the School Board of Directors. Q: Why is this not handled through simply one levy request? A: School districts can seek levy funding in three distinctive ways. Enrichment levies, also known as Educational Programs and Services (EP&O), allow a school district to provide things like teachers, support staff, supplies and materials, or services that the state only partially funds. Funding provided by the state does not fully cover the actual costs to operate a school district, so enrichment levies bridge the gap in funding. Enrichment levies can be approved for up to four years. Technology and Capital Projects levies fund things like modern technology, technology staffing, software licenses, equipment, enhanced building security, and renovation projects. Districts can also seek funding through Transportation levies. Voters approved a two-year Transportation levy in 2018. With our district's bus fleet on a depreciation schedule, there is no need to replace this particular levy in the February 2022 election. Q: How much of a school district's budget do levies contribute or "pay for?" A: For the Riverview School District, levies make up approximately 18% of our annual operating budget. Q: What happens if the Replacement Levies do not pass? A: These levy propositions are crucial to continuing and maintaining things as they are in Riverview. Without Proposition #1, for example, the district would need to consider massive cuts within one year of the replacement levies not passing. As a result of staffing cuts the district would need to make, Riverview would see programs , after-school activities, and some athletic opportunities potentially cut, with class sizes increasing to a significant degree. Proposition #2 would see similar cuts made to the technology department and maintenance and operations teams, as those teams would see significant reduction in staff without funding in place to support the programs and operations we have come to expect in Riverview School District. Funding for maintaining buildings and regular, necessary maintenance would be difficult to complete in a timely manner, and facility upgrades would need to be paused or paid for through funds allocated to necessary programs and infrastructure in place. Q: How are levies approved by voters? A: Levies need a simple majority of voter approval (50%+) to pass. This is different than Bond elections, which require a supermajority of voter approval, defined as 60%+. VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES Q: What percentage of levy dollars are used to pay salaries? A: Approximately 92% of the expenditures of local funds for the 2020-2021 school year was spent on salaries, benefits, and contracted services. This graphic below shows the Expenditure Breakdown for the EP & O Levy. Q: What were the total funds allocated pre-McCleary and post-McCleary , as opposed to an overall percentage of funding? A: The graphics below provide a detailed breakdown of revenue sources, both in a percentage and dollar amount representation, as well as a table showing the general funding sources of revenue. Q: What is the amount of levy dollars from the previous levy, per student, versus the proposed levy dollars per student? A: Local levy dollars are calculated based on a calendar year (January 1-December 31). Riverview School District collects levy dollars based upon a Per Pupil allocation, which is adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). These funds are collected during Riverview's fiscal year (September 1-August 31). Beginning in 2019, the Per Pupil allocation amount was set at $2,500 per student by OSPI, and then adjusted starting in 2020 based on the annual CPI rate change. The table below shows the maximum Per Pupil allocation amount for each year of the expiring four-year levy cycle. OSPI Maximum Per Pupil Enrichment Collection Amount Per Calendar Year Note: Figures in the chart above are based on a calendar year, beginning January 1 and ending on December 31. The estimated Per Pupil allocation for the proposed four-year replacement levy propositions, for years 2023-2026, are based upon the estimated annual CPI rate increase. OSPI Estimated Maximum Per Pupil Enrichment Collection Amount Per Calendar Year Note: Figures in the chart above are based on a calendar year, beginning January 1 and ending on December 31.

Bond & Levy Frequently Asked Questions February 10, 2026 Home Question: Why are we replacing Tolt Middle School? Did the district consider the option of renovating the existing middle school, rather than re-building? Answer: The district's only middle school, Tolt Middle School, serving grades 6-8, faces critical challenges due to aging infrastructure and its multi-building style campus. The facility lacks essential facilities such as an adequate cafeteria, performance space, gym, and flexible & specialized learning spaces suited for modern curriculum. The existing location of the main office hinders supervision, and the school relies on four portables. With systems at or beyond their lifespan, Tolt Middle School has the district’s lowest BCA score (a state standard for building condition), and ongoing issues like leaky roofs, plumbing failures, and extreme temperatures that disrupt learning. Built in phases over 6 decades and last modernized almost 20 years ago, the school is overdue for updates. Tolt Middle School will be replaced and expanded to address its aging and failing infrastructure, ensuring a safe and secure learning environment for students. An updated, modern building will enhance safety and security, while site parking and traffic circulation improvements will create a more efficient and accessible campus for students, staff, and families. Question: Where will the new middle school be built, and where will students go during construction? Answer: The new Tolt Middle School will be built on the back portion of the current Tolt campus. Students will continue attending the existing buildings throughout construction. Because the campus spans approximately 40 acres and also houses the district’s Maintenance Shop and Transportation Facility, there is enough space to keep construction activity separated from daily school operations. This allows the district to maintain safety standards and minimize disruption so students can continue learning as usual while the new school is built. Question: What is the timeline for building the new middle school and completing other proposed projects? Large school construction projects typically take three to four years from design to completion. If voters approve the bond, the district anticipates this timeline: 2025–26 School Year: A School Design Advisory Committee will be formed. This group—made up of district staff, students, community members, and subject matter experts—will guide the design of the new middle school. Regular public updates will be provided throughout the design process. 2026–27 School Year : Architects develop detailed plans and submit permit applications. 2027–28 School Year : The district obtains permits and prepares the site for construction. Groundbreaking is expected to occur at the end of this school year. 2028–29 School Year : Construction continues on the new school building. 2029–30 School Year : The new Tolt Middle School is expected to open for students. While middle school planning and construction occur, the district will move forward with smaller upgrades districtwide. These projects will be designed and permitted during the school year so that work can be completed during summer break to avoid disruptions to learning. Question: Where will the new Transportation Facility be built? Answer: Upon completion of the new Tolt Middle School, the district anticipates renovating the existing Administration building (Building A) of the current Tolt Middle School to provide a unified space for all transportation staff including bus drivers, dispatchers, and administrative staff. Program space will include offices, training rooms, a meeting room sized to accommodate the entire staff, and restrooms. Behind the new Transportation headquarters, the existing classroom buildings will be demolished to provide parking for the district's fleet of school buses, fueling station, washing bay, and maintenance facilities. Question: How much will the bond and levies cost homeowners, and how long will the tax rate increase last? Answer: The bond and levies have different timelines and financial impacts: Bond (Proposition 3): Has a 20-year repayment cycle. Educational Programs & Operations Levy (Prop 1): Renews every four years; not a new tax. Estimated increase is $0.30 per $1,000 of assessed value. Capital Projects & Technology Levy (Prop 2): Renews every four years and increases between $0.05 and $0.10 per $1,000 of assessed value (highest in year one). The bond rate fluctuates between $0.60–$0.65 per $1,000 depending on the year. Altogether, the combined impact of all three measures is estimated at about $1.00 per $1,000 of assessed value each year for the duration of the bond. To estimate your household impact, use: (Assessed Value ÷ $1,000) × $1.00 = Total Estimated Annual Increase Question: How were project costs determined, and what financial accountability measures are in place? Answer : The district conducted a rigorous, multi-year process to ensure accurate cost estimates and public accountability: 2023–24: A Capital Asset Advisory Committee (CAAC), composed of community members and guided by a third-party consultant, assessed every district facility. They reviewed building conditions, system failures, functional capacities, and educational adequacy. The committee identified the replacement of Tolt Middle School as the top priority. 2024–25: A 40-member Bond Planning Committee was formed, including students, staff, parents, community members, school board members, teachers, administrators, and district staff. This committee: Consulted with department experts and external financial advisors Commissioned a districtwide community survey through Strategies 360 Reviewed construction market trends with a commercial construction consultant Evaluated inflation and cost escalations in school construction over the last several decades The committee prepared a final recommendation for the School Board, which held listening sessions and conducted another community survey before adoption. On November 12, 2025, the Board approved the final bond package. The accompanying bond resolution legally requires the district to spend funds only on the projects specified, providing strong financial safeguards. All documents are publicly available via the November 12 board meeting agenda. Question: Why is a bond being used instead of a capital levy for these projects? Answer: For districts with Riverview’s smaller tax base, large capital projects cannot realistically be funded through levies. Capital levies: Collect smaller amounts once per year for only four years Cannot raise enough revenue to fund major construction Are better suited for smaller-scale improvements A bond functions like a long-term mortgage: Funds are issued upfront so projects can begin immediately Repayment spreads over 20 years, reducing yearly cost to taxpayers Annual collections fund only the necessary principal and interest payments Large districts such as Seattle and Lake Washington, with tax bases over ten times larger than Riverview’s, can afford to run large capital levies to build new schools. Riverview cannot, making a bond the most financially responsible option. Question: Why aren’t major upgrades or expansions at Cedarcrest High School included in this bond, and what are future plans for CHS? Answer: Due to declining enrollment across the district, capacity-driven projects were not the highest priority for this bond cycle. While Cedarcrest’s commons space is tight, the school is not experiencing classroom capacity shortages. Meanwhile, Tolt Middle School faces challenges including: Failing major systems such as HVAC and electrical An outdated California-style campus design that affects safety Aging structures and infrastructure at the end of their usable life Outdated classrooms not designed for 21st-century learning Given the severity of these issues, replacing Tolt was the most urgent and cost-effective choice. The district will revisit CHS needs in future planning cycles. Question: What is the long-term plan for district-owned properties, including the Big Rock Road parcel? Answer: It is common practice for school districts to own undeveloped land to plan for long-term enrollment changes or future facility needs. Although the district does not currently expect to build additional campuses, the Big Rock Road property and other parcels will be retained as valuable long-term assets for future expansion when needed. Question: What safety and security improvements are included, and why are fencing and secure campuses necessary? The bond includes critical safety features aligned with modern school security best practices: Secure entry vestibules will be added at all schools, creating a single controlled point of entry for visitors. Carnation Elementary’s two buildings will be connected, allowing students and staff to move between areas without going outdoors. Perimeter fencing will be installed at all elementary schools to prevent unauthorized access to playgrounds, fields, and school grounds during the school day. These improvements will help ensure only authorized individuals may enter campus, improve visitor management, and reduce opportunities for students to inadvertently or intentionally leave school grounds. Question: What technology upgrades are planned, and how will cybersecurity and maintenance needs be supported? Answer: The Capital Projects & Technology Levy (Prop 2) provides essential funding to maintain and modernize district technology systems: Lifecycle replacement of student and staff devices Upgrades to network infrastructure, Wi-Fi, and internet connectivity Cybersecurity tools and software needed to protect student data Support for school safety systems, including cameras and access control Maintenance and licensing for instructional, administrative, and communications software Together, these investments ensure that technology remains reliable, secure, and aligned with classroom needs. Question: What improvements are included for playgrounds, fields, and athletic facilities, including artificial turf at Tolt? Answer : Several facilities across the district require upgrades to be safe and functional: Elementary school playfields: Poor drainage and lack of irrigation often make fields muddy, uneven, and unsafe. Improvements will increase safety and usability. Cedarcrest High School field lighting: Older lighting systems are difficult to maintain because parts are outdated or unavailable. Replacement will ensure reliability and improve visibility and safety. Tolt Middle School turf field: The current grass field is difficult to maintain and is unusable for much of the wet season. A turf field would provide consistent and flexible fields, year-round access for PE classes, school athletics, and community use. Question: How does this bond address growth, enrollment changes, and long-term capacity needs? Answer: Although bonds are typically designed with long-term enrollment projections in mind, Riverview’s current ten-year outlook shows slow growth that returns to near pre-pandemic levels toward the end of the projection window. Because rapid growth is not expected, this bond focuses on replacing aging infrastructure, improving safety, and maintaining educational adequacy rather than expanding capacity. Question: How does the bond relate to class sizes, staffing shortages, counseling, nursing, and student services? Answer: The bond funds capital improvements only—buildings, systems, and major renovations. Staffing and student supports are funded through the Educational Programs & Operations Levy (Prop 1), which covers: Teaching staff needed to maintain reasonable class sizes Counseling, nursing, and student support services Arts, music, and other enrichment programs Extracurriculars, including athletics, coaches, and athletic trainers Maintenance, custodial support, and operations shortfalls Transportation and nutrition service gaps not fully funded by the state The state does not fully fund these essential services, so the EP&O levy is critical to maintaining programs students rely on. Question: What happens if the bond does not pass? Answer: The district has not passed a bond since 2007, and the state does not fund major building improvements or replacements. Without bond funding: The district must continue to operate buildings with aging, outdated, and failing systems. HVAC and electrical systems—many long past their intended service life—will continue requiring costly repairs. Maintenance cannot keep pace with the scale of needs using only the Capital Projects Levy. Safety, security, and educational adequacy issues will worsen. Ultimately, failing to pass the bond means students and staff will remain in buildings that do not meet modern standards for learning or safety. Question: How will the district ensure communication, transparency, and community engagement throughout the bond process? Answer: The district will implement a comprehensive communication plan that includes: Regular online and print updates about project progress and timelines Ongoing community meetings and public presentations Publishing minutes and materials from the middle school design advisory committee Clear reporting on expenditures and timelines as projects move forward Transparency and community engagement will continue from bond approval through the completion of all projects.
