SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose of fhe 2022 Update to the Capita/Facilities Plan
The Pasco School District(the "District") in 2011 first adopted a Capital Facilities Plan (the
"2011 CFP") in compliance with the Washington State Growth Management Act, Chapter
36.70A RCW(the "GMA"), and City of Pasco Ordinance 4046 (the"School Impact Fee
Ordinance"). The City of Pasco adopted the 2011 CFP on April 16, 2012, and adopted updates
to the CFP in 2014, 2016, and 2019.
Section 3.133.025 of the School Impact Fee Ordinance describes the elements that must be
addressed in the CFP. They include "the District's standard of service, an inventory of facilities,
capacity by grade span, a six year enrollment forecast, facility needs and costs, a finance plan
and calculation of the school impact fees." Once the CFP with these elements is adopted, the
Ordinance says "[t]he District shall file an update to its capital facility plan at least once every
two years."And, "[a]t least once every two years, commencing on April 15, 2014, the City
Council shall review and consider the District submitted capital facilities plan update." Following
the 2016 CFP, the District adopted an updated CFP in April 2018 and forwarded the 2018 CFP
update to the City of Pasco and Franklin County shortly thereafter. The City Council reviewed
but did not act on that update. The District subsequently submitted the 2019 CFP to the City
and the County, with the City subsequently adopting the 2019 CFP. Franklin County has yet to
adopt a version of the District's Capital Facilities Plan. The global pandemic resulted in
extraordinary challenges for the District's educational programming and planning. The District is
now, in the fall of 2022, able to reasonably plan for future growth-related needs and intends for
this 2022 CFP update to replace the 2019 CFP for all purposes, including the District's
compliance with the above requirements in the School Impact Fee Ordinance. The 2022 CFP
update supplements and updates the core information in the 2011 CFP. The 2022 update also
includes an updated calculation for the DistricYs school impact fees.
B. Changes in the Pasco Schoo!Disfrict
The District now serves approximately 18,335 K-12 students (Chart 3 herein —average of headcount
enrollment for the 2021-22 school year, with October 1, 2022 enrollment tracking at 18,345
students), an increase of 555 students since 2016. Steady residential development within the
District's boundaries continues. The latest demographics study prepared by the District (Chart 3
herein) projects that enrollment growth will continue at all grade levels over the six-year planning
period and beyond. Higher growth is projected at the K-5 and 9-12 levels, with 6-8 enrollment slightly
declining in the initial years of the planning period but thereafter returning to 2021 levels and
thereafter trending upward. Since the start of 2021 and through September 2022, the City of Pasco
approved the construction of 583 single family units and 22 multi-family units. There is also
continuing plat activity in the District's boundaries within unincorporated Franklin County. The
District continues to review new residential development applications in Franklin County subject to
SEPA review. Additional SEPA-exempt residential development activity may also exist in Franklin
County.
Over the past 10 years, the District has engaged in community-driven capital planning
activities intended to construct all the improvements that are required to serve existing
needs (including those from recent residential growth) and forecasted growth. These
activities include:

November 2013 bond: This bond was developed with several strategies to significantly reduce
the cost of the bond projects after the previous bond failed with a 48% yes vote in April 2011.
The Board engaged a community task force to provide recommendations regarding strategies
for handling enrollment growth. The task force considered multi-track/year-round options, and
recommended constructing additional elementary school capacity (vs. a middle school, which
would have been a more expensive project) and that the District use the additional elementary
capacity to house 6th grade students at the elementary level instead of the middle level.
• The three elementary schools approved in the 2013 bond opened in the 2014-2015
school year(one school) and the 2015-2016 school year(two schools). The added
capacity allowed the District to complete the plan to transition to a K-6 and 7-8
grade configuration in 2015-2016.
November 2017 bond: The DistricYs voters in November 2017 approved a $99.5 million
bond measure with a 60.07% yes vote (approval of a bond requires 60% yes votes)to fund
two new elementary schools, a new Middle School #4, and the replacement and expansion
of Stevens Middle School. The District's Community Builders Group recommended these
projects for the bond, with the understanding that the additional middle level capacity would
cause the district to transition 6�'grade back to the middle school. These projects are now
complete and the District has moved back to a K-5 and 6-8 grade model.
The Board of Directors has authorized a February 2023 bond proposal to its voters, which
will include, among other things, funding a new comprehensive high school #3, a small
innovative high school, modernized learning spaces for Career and Technical Education
(CTE) programs at Pasco and Chiawana High Schools, and land for growth.
The District has continued to engage in cost-saving measures in facilities planning, and will
continue to use cost-reduction strategies and District construction standards to save taxpayer
dollars. Pasco School District's construction costs have normally been lower than other school
construction costs around the State of Washington. Examples of cost- reduction strategies
includes the following:
• Use property already owned by the district for school sites;
• Use the updated Pasco design that has been built multiple times for Pasco schools,
thereby saving A/E, construction and maintenance costs;
• Curie and Whittier Elementary Schools share one playground, reducing the amount
of land to be purchased;
• Build larger elementary schools to reduce the total number needed and create
efficiencies in operations;
• Build schools to serve at least 50 years; and
• Maintain school buildings well to ensure they last several decades;
• Seek alternative sources of facilities funding such as grants or private donations;
• Relocate portable classrooms to locations where enrollment is growing in lieu of
purchasing additional portable classrooms, wherever possible.
The voters of Washington State passed Initiative 1351 in 2014. The initiative imposes class
size values as recommended by the Legislature's Quality Education Council (QEC). The class
size requirements have been implemented in part and delayed in part. Under the Supreme
Court's McCleary decision, the Legislature is under court order to fully fund basic K-12
education, including the K-3 class size reductions. Initiative 1351 class sizes are reflected in
Pasco School District 2022-2028 CFP
Page 4 of 23
November 8, 2022
Chart 1 and position the District for full legislative implementation.
The District implemented All-Day Kindergarten (ADK) in every elementary school in the 2015-
2016 school year. The District added portable classrooms to meet this requirement.
In Chart 2 in the Appendix, State scoring matrices show that Pasco School District is
effectively maintaining its schools as a community investment and asset, according to a third
party review. The schools' adjusted maintenance score is significantly above its expected
score for the facility's age, demonstrating effective maintenance by the district. These data
mean that they will last longer and be able to serve more students before needing to be
replaced.

SECTION 2
DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM STANDARDS
The District's core and special program needs, which are used to define the standard of service,
are addressed in the 2011 Capital Facilities Plan. The District has implemented K-3 class size
reduction and All Day Kindergarten and is positioned to implement I-1351's targets for grades 4-
12. Below is the District's adopted educational program standards (or standard of service).
A. E/ementary Educationa/Program Standards
The state is required to provide funding for a student-to-teacher ratio of 17-1 in grades K-3 (15-1
for high poverty schools), consistent with QEC recommendations, Initiative 1351, and McCleary.
The class size of 15-17 impacts all elementary schools.

SECTION 3
CAPITAL FACILITIES INVENTORY
As described in the 2011 CFP, the District's facilities inventory establishes a baseline for
determining the facilities necessary to accommodate future demand (student enrollment) at
acceptable levels of service. Three schools have been added and one school replaced and
expanded since the 2019 update to the CFP, resulting in an increase to the permanent
capacity calculation. New high school permanent capacity will be added th�ough the 2028
planning period. The District will also move portables between schools and grade levels as
additional capacity is needed.
A. Capacity Calculation and Standard of Service
The District's Board of Directors directed staff to conduct a comprehensive review of school
building capacity in 2017. The purpose of the review was to ensure consistent, reasonable
measures were being used to determine the capacity of each school building, and to provide a
safe and equitable standard of service for students throughout the school system.
Student safety has been a critical consideration for the District in determining this standard of
service. In 2014 and again in 2018, the District conducted a comprehensive safety review of
schools, including brick and mortar buildings and portable classrooms. It is the District's goal to
house students in permanent facilities with controlled points of access, which can be best
accomplished by housing students in one contained brick and mortar building. Portable
classrooms will continue to be used as a temporary solution to provide student housing.
However, to achieve the desired standard of service to enhance student and staff safety,
portable classrooms should not be counted in the District's permanent classroom inventory.
The state does not count portable classrooms when calculating a school district's classroom
inventory for purposes of eligibility for state assistance for construction. In the 2011 CFP, the
District counted some portables into the permanent capacity calculation after consultation with
the City of Pasco. Based on the above considerations, however, the 2017 CFP update did not
include portable classrooms in calculating permanent capacity but still recognized the capacity
purpose. The 2019 CFP and this 2022 CFP update carry forward the 2017 CFP methodology.
B. Elementary Schools
The District currently has seventeen (17) elementary schools serving grades K-5 and providing
capacity to serve 8,898 students in permanent capacity. As of October 1, 2022, there were
8,106 elementary students enrolled.
Two new elementary schools, Columbia River Elementary Scho�l and Three Rivers
Elementary School, providing additional capacity for 1,288 elementary students, were
constructed and opened in the 2019 and 2020 school years, respectively.
As of the 2022 school year, there are 107 portable classrooms at the elementary schools
providing additional capacity to house 2,637 students.
The District purchased the former Pasco Senior Center and an adjacent vacant lot from the City
in 2016 for the purpose of the converting the building into an early learning facility. The District
pursued, and was granted, two capital appropriations from the state totaling $1.3 million dollars
Pasco School District 2022-2028 CFP
Page 8 of 23
November 8, 2022
to help offset the costs. The Early Learning Center opened in January 2018, with designated
programs transitioned to the Center by September 2018. In addition, the District has leased the
former Kids World daycare facility on North 20�"Avenue in Pasco to provide additional
classrooms for early learning. These projects have allowed the District to provide additional
capacity for K-5 students in elementary buildings by relocating early learning classes from the
elementary buildings to the new facilities.
C. Midd/e Schoo/s
The District has four middle schools serving grades 6-8. The middle schools provide permanent
capacity to serve approximately 4,134 students. As of October 1, 2022, there were 4,216
students enrolled in those schools.
Middle School #4, Reynolds Middle School, and the replacement and expansion of Stevens
Middle School added permanent capacity for approximately 1,377 students in 2020 and 2021,
respectively.
As of the 2022 school year, there are 48 portable classrooms at the middle schools providing
additional capacity to house 1,094 students. Since 2011, the District added eighteen (18) new
portable classrooms as temporary capacity at the middle school level. The District plans to
add portable capacity at the middle school level during the six years of this CFP (either newly
purchased or relocated from the elementary grade level).
D. High Schools
There are two traditional high schools serving grades 9-12. There is permanent capacity in
those schools to serve 4,156 students. As of October 1, 2022 there were 6,023 students
enrolled. Pasco High School has additional capacity to serve students in 29 portable
classrooms and Chiawana High School has additional capacity to serves students in 32
portable classrooms.
New Horizons High School moved into a leased brick and mortar building on the Columbia
Basin College campus in 2017. The building capacity is 248. With New Horizons the
District has a total of 4,404 permanent capacity seats at the 9-12 level. The District
shares capacity at Delta, a STEM based high school with Kennewick and Richland School
Districts.
The District is currently planning, subject to future bond approval, for a third comprehensive high
school and a small innovative high school.
E. Support Facilities
Bus parking has been expanded into the District's maintenance lay-down yard at the Port of
Pasco property(Building 210). The District leased additional space from the Port to replace the
lost lay-down yard capacity, and is also leasing additional warehouse space. The November
2017 bond provided funding for expansion of transportation and maintenance facilities, which
is expected to be complete in December 2022.

F. Land Inventory
The District currently owns eleven unimproved parcels, totaling approximately±180 acres.
The District acquired 82.17 acres (finro parcels) in 2019 and a 13.00 acre lot was created
(from a larger lot)after the development of Columbia River Elementary and Reynolds Middle
School.
The District is planning to use property in the current inventory for the proposed new
comprehensive high school#3 and a small innovative high school if those projects are funded
as a part of the 2023 Bond.

SECTION 4
STUDENT ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS
AND CAPACITY BY GRADE SPAN
A. Projected Sfudenf Enrollment
Since 2016, the District received and reviewed four enrollment forecasts. For purposes of the
2022 CFP Update, the District is relying on the comprehensive forecast prepared internally by
the District. The forecast considers recent trends, including enrollment anomalies occurring
during the Covid-19 pandemic, data provided by MGT of America and demographer Paul
Dennis, and information related to known residential development data throughout the District's
boundaries. See Appendix, Chart 3.
In October 2011, there were 15,707 students enrolled in grades K-12. In October 2018, there
were 18,432 students enrolled, which is an increase of 2,725 students. By 2028, the forecast
predicts there will be 19,574 students enrolled in grades K-12, which is an additional 1,142
students over 2018. These projections are down from recent years and reflect enrollment
anomalies from the pandemic and the subsequent period. The District plans to watch
enrollment closely and will update the CFP accordingly. The District recently added two new
elementary schools, which will continue to provide available K-5 capacity to serve new growth
within the planning period of this CFP, and will need to add permanent and temporary capacity
at the secondary level to serve secondary level needs (including growth needs).
B. Capacify by Grade Span
Currenf enrollment at each grade level is identified in Chart 1, which provides the actual
enrollment in District facilities as of October 1, 2022. Projected available student capacity
was derived by subtracting projected student 2028 enrollment(Chart 3)from total existing
October 2022 school capacity(Chart 1).
Enrollment in grades K-5 is expected to grow by approximately 299 students by 2028. Growth
at the K-5 level is expected to continue beyond the six year planning period.
Enrollment at the 6-8 level is projected to grow over the six year planning period and beyond,
with approximately 379 middle school students added by 2028. The construction of Reynolds
Middle School and the replacementlexpansion of Stevens Middle School helped to provide
needed capacity to serve recent growth at the 6-8 level and also helped, with grade
reconfiguration, to relieve capacity constraints at the K-5 level. Portable additions will likely be
needed to address capacity needs at the 6-8 level.
Enrollment in grades 9-12 is forecasted for continued growth, adding nearly 551 students by
2028. The District has added capacity for additional students at New Horizons and Pasco High
School. However, the District will need to add capacity for at the high school level for purposes
of the six year planning period and beyond. The 2023 bond includes a planned new high school
#3 and a smaller innovative high school.
The current capacity in the existing schools and the capacity that is needed to serve forecast
growth through 2028 was revised based on class size reduction targets and construction
projects completed through the date of this CFP. Please see Chart 4 in the Appendix. Chart 4
does not consider capacity additions planned through 2028 and beyond.
Pasco School District 2022-2028 CFP
Page 11 of 23
November 8, 2022
SECTION 5
CAPITAL FACILITIES NEEDS
To determine future facility needs, existing school program capacity was compared to
projected enrollment throughout the six-year forecast period. See Section 4.
In November 2017, the District's voters passed a $99.5 million bond measure to help fund the
construction of two new elementary schools, a new middle school, the expansion and
replacement of Stevens Middle School, safety and health improvements at various schools, and
improvements to the District's transportation and maintenance facilities. See Chart 5, Appendix.
The 2017 Bond projects are now mostly complete. The District is now planning for a future bond
measure to be presented to the voters in February 2023, to fund the construction of a new
comprehensive high school #3, a small innovative high school, modernized learning spaces for
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs at Pasco and Chiawana High Schools, athletic
field upgrades, and property acquisition. Portable classrooms will be used to provide temporary
facilities while funding is secured to construct brick and mortar facilities. The new schools and
portable classrooms will provide the needed capacity identified in Section 4 above.
The District continues to have available capacity to serve growth at the K-5 level as a result of
the recent completion of the new Columbia River Elementary School and Three Rivers
Elementary School, funded by the 2017 Bond. The District is in early planning for a new
Elementary School #18 and capacity additions as a part of replacement of Livingston
Elementary School and McGee Elementary School.
In addition to building schools that add capacity for growth, the District will make other
improvements to serve students. The improvements will be constructed in phases and cannot
occur until bonds are approved by the voters. The District will continue with long term facilities
planning efforts using community recommendations to identify which projects should be
prioritized.
The District will continue to plan for needs beyond 2028. Chart 5 includes estimated permanent
improvements and capacity conditioned on future funding. Future updates to this CFP will
provide more specific information as to the DistricYs updated planning.

November 8, 2022
SECTION 6
CAPITAL FACILITIES FINANCING PLAN
The District's ability to fund the planned improvements that will add capacity is dependent upon
the passage of bond elections at a 60% supermajority and receipt of State Construction
Assistance Program (SCAP)funds, also known as "state match" funds. Costs for improvements
that add capacity are used to calculate school impact fees. School impact fees, or SEPA
mitigation fees collected from some new development projects in unincorporated Franklin
County, will be used to pay for a portion of the improvements that add capacity. The majority of
the costs to construct the capacity improvements will be paid for with bonds and state match
funds. See Section 6 of the 2011 CFP for a complete discussion regarding the framework for
financing planned improvements.
To serve growth needs identified in this CFP, the District plans to construct new schools
consistent with the funding identified in this CFP. Charts 5 and 6 have detailed information on
the 2023 Bond projects, with the new comprehensive high school #3, innovative high school,
and CTE program improvements at PHS and CHS all being growth-related projects. The
District's voters, through the 2017 Bond, front funded the recently constructed Columbia River
Elementary School and Three Rivers Elementary School. Both projects provide continuing
available capacity at the K-5 level to serve growth expected at the at grade level over the six
year planning period. The District may also add portables to serve interim growth needs.
In addition to construction of facilities to add capacity, the District also needs to acquire school
sites for future construction, and must make a variety of improvements that are needed at
existing facilities. A key Community Builders Group recommendation was to address capital
facilities needs related to safety and health.
The Capital Facilities Financing Plan in Chart 6 demonstrates how the District intends to fund
new construction and improvements to school facilities during the six year planning period
(and also includes financing information related to the recently completed elementary
schools).

SECTION 7
SCHOOL IMPACT OR MITIGATION FEES
The District's ability to fund the improvements that are needed to serve forecast growth depends
on new development contributing to the cost to build the schools that will serve the students that
live in new housing. The District is collecting school impact fees from development in the City
and will continue to seek mitigation fees from developers in Franklin County (and continue to
request that Franklin County adopt a GMA-based school impact fee ordinance). The District's
desire and intent is that school mitigation is collected from all residential development within the
District in an equitable and comprehensive manner. The District files annual reports with the
City regarding the use of the school impactfees.
The District has calculated school impact fees using a standard school impact fee formula,
adopted by the City of Pasco and many other Washington cities and counties, that complies
with the Growth Management Act. The resulting figures are based on the District's cost per
dwelling unit to construct schools needed to serve new development. A student factor(or
student generation rate) is used to identify the average cost per dwelling unit by measuring the
average number of students generated by each housing type (single-family dwellings and multi-
family dwellings). The District hires a consultant to update the student factor methodology
based upon the last six years of residential development data within the District, as required
by the City of Pasco School Impact Fee Ordinance. In this year's CFP, the District is
continuing to use the student factor used in the 2019 CFP given that the pandemic
disrupted typical student enrollment and the District, like other school districts around the
State, has found that updated figures would not reflect accurately the number of students
residing within newly constructed dwelling units. The District will update the student factor
in the next update to the CFP. As required under the GMA, credits are applied in the formula
to account for State School Construction Assistance funds to be reimbursed to the District and
projected future property taxes to be paid by the dwelling unit. The costs of projects that do not
add capacity are not included in the impact fee calculations. Furthermore, impact fees will not
be used to address existing deficiencies.
The following projects are included in the impact fee calculation:
• New Elementary School capacity (based on the average cost of Elementary 16 and 17,
recently constructed and opened, providing remaining available capacity at the K-5 level to
serve growth); and
• New Comprehensive High School #3.
Please see Chart 6.
The calculated impact fee amounts (reduced by 25%), in Appendix B, are $7,421 for each single
family residence and $14,640 for each multi-family residence. However, the District is
requesting the City continue collecting the current amounts which are:
Single Family: $4,700
Multi Family: $4,525
The District began receiving impact fees from the City in 2012. Through July 2022, the District has
received approximately$21,274,183.00 in impact fee and mitigation fee revenue. Of that amount,
$1,250,000 was used to reduce the principal of the 2013 bond, $5,374,972 has been used for portable
classrooms (new and relocated), $4,899,155 has help fund property acquisitions, and $2,000,000 was

used to reduce the principal of the 2017 bond. The District plans to use remaining revenue for growth-
related projects including portables, land acquisition, and reducing the cost of the 2017 Bond
projects. The District will use future impact fees and mitigation fees as allowed by law for growth-
related impacts identified in the CFP.

CONCLUSION
The District continues to use a variety of strategies to plan, reduce costs, and mitigate the
effects of student enrollment growth. Receipt of impact fees remains critical to ensuring the
District can manage growth by providing sufficient student facilities. The forecast of steady
enrollment growth over the next six years underscores the need to use a variety of financing
measures, including the passage of bonds, expenditure from the General Fund, and impact
fees/SEPA mitigation fees to meet the needs of the community.

"B.C.E." is the Building Condition Evaluation score given by OSPI for those facilities in which
State School Construction Assistance Program (state match)dollars were used. The
Current Draft Score" is OSPI's expected score for the age of the facility, given average use
and maintenance. Buildings were not reviewed (N/R) in 2019 due to COVID.
Pasco High School is no longer assigned a B.C.E. score for purposes of state reporting
because of the age of the facility. However, the district continues to monitor and score Pasco
High School for internal monitoring purposes.

"State Match" refers to funds allocated by the State of Washington through the School
Construction Assistance Program administered by OSPI. This number is an estimate of state
matching funds and is subject to verification by OSPI.
*The "portion TBD" of impact fee revenue used to fund the growth-related capacity projects will
be determined based upon impact fee revenue received from new development. Impact fee
revenue may be able to offset debt service on the bonds and result in tax savings to the
existing community.
