Sumner-Bonney Lake community, be sure to check out the Bond Oversight Committee annual report for the latest information about the bond projects! 👇

The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District’s Bond Oversight Committee (BOC) has released its first Annual Report to the Community, highlighting strong progress and responsible management of the 2024 bond program. 🏫

The 12-member, community-based committee meets quarterly to review budgets, timelines and project progress, helping ensure transparency and careful use of taxpayer dollars.

✨ Highlights from the report:

🚧 Progress: Planning and design are underway for all projects, with construction on track to begin as scheduled. Three projects will break ground this summer: Donald Eismann Elementary (turf field and parking), Sumner High (Phase 2), and Bonney Lake High (expansion and intersection improvements).

💲 Finances: Spending is on track with strong planning in place to manage inflation and construction costs. $9.1 million spent as of January 2026; 24% of bonds sold (total authorization $732 million); bonds are issued gradually to help maintain stable tax rates.

⏱️ Timelines: Each project has a timeline for elements of planning, design, permitting, bidding and construction. Nearly all projects are under design contract, with design progressing, permits submitted or secured and procurement processes running smoothly.

The full report includes details on funding, milestones and oversight. Find the full report at sumnersd.org/boc.

The Bond Oversight Committee met last week to receive a detailed project update and to review, discuss, and finalize its first Annual Report to the Community. Following School Board review and anticipated approval in April, the report will provide families and community members with a comprehensive overview of bond-funded projects, including current status, financial updates, funding details, key milestones, meeting summaries, and a look ahead to the coming year.

Have you noticed this sign at lower campus of Bonney Lake High School? (There’s also one on upper campus across from Mountain View Middle School!)

Thanks to our community of voters, additional classrooms, turf fields, and an improved intersection are coming to Bonney Lake High School. A lot of work is going on behind the scenes and you can check it all out at sumnerbonneylakebuilds.org. There’s also a cool video on there showing what the addition will look like!
