PUYALLUP SCHOOLS ASKING FOR UPGRADES

The Puyallup School Board will ask district voters in November to approve a $273 million construction bond to modernize high schools with improved security features.
If voters approve, the money would be used to consolidate classrooms from portables and smaller buildings at Puyallup, Rogers, and Walker high schools into the main building. Emerald Ridge would add onto its existing building.
