I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose of the Capital Facilities Plan
The Washington State Growth Management Act (the "GMA") includes schools in
public facilities and services that must be provided for as cities and counties plan for
growth. School districts have adopted capital facilities plans to satisfy the
requirements of the GMA and to identify additional school facilities necessary to
meet the educational needs of the growing student populations anticipated in their
districts.
The Evergreen School District (the "District") prepared this Capital Facilities Plan (the
"CFP") to provide Clark County (the"County) and the Cities of Vancouver and
Camas (the "City") with the district's anticipated capital facility needs over the next
six years (2015-2021) to ensure that adequate school facilities are available to serve
new growth and development.
In accordance with the Growth Mangement Act and the County and City Impact Fee
Ordinances, this CFP contains the following required elements:
• The District's standard of service, which is based on program year, class
size by grade span, number of classrooms, types of facilities, and other
factors identified by the District, including teacher contracts and funding
requirements.
• An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by the District, showing
the locations and capacities of the facilities, based on the District's
standard of service.
• A forecast of the future needs for capital facilities and school sites based
on the District's enrollment projections.
• The proposed capacities of expanded or new capital facilities over the
next six years based on the inventory of existing facilities and the
standard of service.
• A six-year plan for financing capital facilities within projected funding
capacities, which clearly identifies sources of public money for such
purposes. The financing plan separates projects and portions of projects
which add capacity from those which do not, since the latter are generally
not appropriate for impact fee funding.
• A calculation of impact fees based on the formula in the County and City
impact fee ordinances and supporting data substantiating such fees.
In developing this CFP, the District used the following guidelines:
• The District will use information from recognized sources, such as
professional demographers and planners, county and city adopted land
use plans and county GIS data.
• The District will use data it generates from reasonable methodologies.
Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 3
• The CFP and methodology to calculate the impact fees will comply with
the GMA and county and city codes.
• The six year facility needs are based on an enrollment forecast that takes
local development trends into account.
• The District plans to construct permanent/bricks and mortar facilities for
its students and will develop a CFP to accomplish that objective. At the
same time, the District expects there will be a time period when some of
the students that the District serves will be housed in portables. Housing
students in portables, temporarily, is necessary to qualify for state funds
that are needed to build new schools.
B. Overview of the Evergreen School District
The Evergreen School District is comprised of 54 square miles. It serves a
significant portion of the Vancouver Urban Growth Area and smaller areas in the
Camas Urban Growth Area and rural Clark County.
The District serves residents from the cities of Vancouver and Camas and from
unincorporated Clark County. The District is bordered by the Vancouver School
District to the west, the Camas School District to the east and the Battle Ground and
Hockinson School Districts to the north. It is bordered by the Columbia River and
state line to the south.
The Districts serves a population of 26,343 students (October 2014 enrollment). Of
the 26,343 students, 44% attend classes in 21 elementary schools (grades K-5),
22% attend classes in six middle schools (grades 6-8), and 34% students attend
classes in six high schools (grades 9-12). For purposes of facility planning this CFP
considers grades K-5 as an elementary, grades 6-8 as a middle school, and grades
9-12 as a high school.
In addition, the Clark County Skills Center is located in and operated by Evergreen
School District serving students half days from all Clark County school districts. The
district serves home schooled students in grades K-8 through a supplemental
program operated by the Flex Academy and pre-school special needs students
through a program operated by the Early Childhood Center.
The most significant issues facing the District in terms of providing classroom
capacity to accommodate existing and projected demands are:
• The Washington State Supreme Court ruled in the McLeary school funding
case that the Legislature was not fulfilling its constitutional requirement of
funding schools. The court ruled the Legislature should fund its own funding
bills previously agreed to. One component is class-size reduction in grades
K-3. The Senate, and House of Representatives have brought forward plans
to fund the class-size reduction by the 2017-18 school year. Reducing class
sizes from current levels to a level of 17:1 by the 2017-18 school year will
require additional teachers, and additional classrooms. The impact of
additional capacity is not included in our Capital Facilities Plan.
• The Washington State Board of Education has increased the graduation
requirements of high school students to a level of 24 credits. To allow for
additional credit options schedules will need to be altered to provide further
Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 4
student options. Anticipated schedule changes will require more teachers,
and additional classroom space not currently figured in our plan.
• The majority of growth in the District has been residential rather than
industrial. Because residential growth does not increase assessed value to
the same degree that industrial growth does, the comparative per pupil
assessed value is lower in Evergreen School District than in many of its
neighboring districts. The low assessed value means that any tax is spread
over a smaller base and, consequently, tax rates are high in Evergreen. For
example, in 2015 it would cost the taxpayer in Evergreen $4.38/$1,000 in
assessed value to collect the maximum levy. Comparatively, in Camas
School District with the assessed value added by industry, it would cost the
taxpayer$3.41/$1,000 in assessed value to raise the maximum levy.
• In the last 10 years, bilingual enrollment in the District increased 175%. In
the 2004-05 school year, the number of students with English as a Second
Language (ESL)was 1,749; in the 2014-15 school year, the number of ESL
students is 3,049. Students living in poverty within district boundaries has
also significantly increased in recent years. The District continues to monitor
the need for additional space to accommodate staff needed to provide
support for students who need additional assistance.
• Other concerns regarding growth management and schools relate to the link
that exists between a quality education and the ability to provide quality
facilities for all students.
Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 5
II. DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND STANDARDS OF SERVICE
School facility and student capacity needs are dictated by the types and amounts of space
required to accommodate the District's adopted educational program. Quality education
plays a vital role in growing a strong local economy. To provide quality education, the
District must have quality facilities to serve as the supporting space for developing the whole
child within a community to prepare them for a competitive world. The educational program
standards which typically drive facility space needs include grade configuration, optimum
facility size, class size, educational program offerings, classroom utilization and scheduling
requirements.
In addition to student population, other factors such as collective bargaining agreements,
government mandates, state and federal funding requirements and community expectations
affect classroom space requirements. Programs, such as special education, bilingual
education, preschool and daycare programs, and other specialized programs, often
supplement traditional educational programs. These programs can have a significant
impact on the available student capacity of school facilities.
The District's current program and educational standards are summarized below. The
program and educational standards may vary during the six year CFP planning horizon.
Absent significant changes in factors that are beyond the District's control, the District will
provide the following programs and standards of service in 2015 through 2021. If significant
changes occur that require new facilities or improvements, beyond what is identified in this
CFP, the District will prepare and submit an updated CFP.
A. Elementary Educational Standards
Elementary schools provide education in all core subject areas including reading, writing,
math, social studies and science. All students receive instruction in P.E., music, art and
have access to media programs. Full day kindergarten is provided at each elementary
school. The District educational standards of service, which directly affect elementary
school capacity, include:
• Class sizes for grades K-3 are targeted not to exceed 23 students per class.
• Class sizes for grades 4-5 are targeted not to exceed 25 students per class.
• Music instruction and physical education are provided in separate (pull-out)
classrooms.
• All elementary schools have a library media resource center which includes
additional space for a technology lab.
• All elementary schools have a computer lab in a room that is separate from the
classrooms.
• Special education is provided for some students in self-contained classrooms are
separate from regular teaching stations (pull-out program). Special education
classrooms serve 5 to 15 students.
• Title I and LAP (Learning Assistance Program) are provided in rooms separate
from regular classrooms.
Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 6
B. Middle and High School Program Standards
Middle schools provide instruction in the core disciplines of english, math, social studies,
science, physical education, music and art. Students have elective offerings available
including music, art and technology courses.
High schools provide course work including english, history, science, math, physical
education, music and art. Additionally elective offerings include vocational technical
programs.
The District educational standards of service, which directly affect middle school and
high school capacity include:
• Class sizes for grades 6-8 are targeted not to exceed 25 students per class.
• Class sizes for grades 9-12 are targeted not to exceed 25 students per class.
• Special programs, such as music, art, physical education, drama, home and
family education learning assistance, are provided in separate instructional
space. The class size ranges from 20 to 70 students.
• The District provides science classroom space that supports advanced
coursework at the secondary level that require water, sinks, gas, hoods, safety
equipment, etc. Schools are working to meet expanded science standards and
this will require spaces that cannot typically be met by adding portables.
• It is not possible to achieve 100% utilization of all regular teaching stations
throughout the day due to schedule conflicts, the need for specialized rooms for
certain programs and the need for teachers to have work space during their
planning period.
C. District-wide Educational Programs:
In addition to Elementary, Middle, and High School program standards, the Evergreen
School District's core services and program offerings include the following:
• Physical education space is provided to meet strengthened health standards.
This can include covered play areas, field space, gyms and other multi-use
spaces.
• Technology access is necessary and expectations are increasing. Technology
(either within the classroom or in dedicated labs) takes extra space that is not
calculated in current state square footage allowances, but is necessary for
student learning. Technology support and infrastructure needs are also
increasing, which further erodes the state square footage allowances.
• Art and music spaces are critical to the District's educational programs. As
student population grows, additional support space for these essential programs
is required.
• Library/Media demands are crucial. In an information driven environment,
access to knowledge through appropriately sized library/media spaces is
essential.
• Extra-curricular activities need space in order to be supported properly with
growing student populations.
Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 7
D. District-wide Support and Special Services:
In addition to the above core educational programs, the following support services are
essential to the District's educational program:
• Food service preparation, delivery and use space. As student populations
increase, cafeteria, food preparation and delivery space must be enlarged.
Miscalculating the need for this core service can have significant impacts on the
overall learning environment for students.
• Other support centers, including Transportation, Maintenance, Warehouse and
Print Shop facilities are critical to support the educational program and the
business operation.
The following special services are also necessary to meet the needs of special
populations:
• Special Education programs are provided at all schools within the District.
Special needs program standard change year to year as a result of various
external or internal changes. External changes may include mandates or needs
for special programs, or use of technology. Internal changes may include
modifications to the program year, class sizes, and grade span configurations.
Changes in physical aspects of the school facilities also affect special
educational program standards.
• Special populations require special support, which often requires special spaces.
Federal and state programs, including Title 1 reading and math, highly capable,
and bilingual are required but come with limited funds that do not cover the
expense of adding facilities to support the program.
• Early Childhood programs, such as new or expanded preschool programs are a
vital service and an essential educational component. They place additional
demands on facilities.
• Supplementary services in core academic areas and multiple pathways that
prepare students for a broader range of post-secondary learning opportunities
require additional space.

Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 11
IV. STUDENT ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS
A. Projected Student Enrollment 2015-2021 (Headcount)
The District's six year enrollment projection is based on a forecast prepared by Educational
Service District 112 in April, 2015. The consulting team used several different enrollment
projection models to estimate future enrollment, including cohort survival, grade
progression, and population ratio. The forecast also considered local population and
housing and development trends, and the District's observations of enrollment over the past
ten years.
The summary of the various methodologies used to predict growth shows enrollment to
remain fairly constant in the coming six years, as follows:
Grade Fall 2014 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21
Total K-5 11,455 11,530 11,597 11,660 11,708 11,756 11,830

Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 12
V. CAPITAL FACILITIES NEEDS
A. Facility Needs
Projected facility capacity is derived by subtracting the projected student enrollment from the
existing school capacity (excluding portable classrooms). As shown below, the District does
not have permanent capacity available to serve all students.
Facility 2014 Capacity 2021 Projected 2021 Facility Need
Enrollment
Elementary Schools 11,054 11,830 776
Middle Schools 4,403 6,004 1,601
High Schools 7,685 9,208 1,523
TOTAL 23,142 27,042 3,900
B. Six Year Plan—Facility Capacity Needs
To address existing needs and add capacity to serve forecast growth, the District needs to
build a new 500 student elementary school, replace 3 elementary schools and 1 middle
school, and expand an existing high school. The forecast growth in enrollment is 375
elementary school students, 86 middle school students and 238 high school students.
Because a portion of the planned improvements will remedy an existing deficiency, only a
portion of the improvement will serve future growth and therefore only a portion of the cost is
included in the District's impact fee calculations. The capacity and cost for the required
improvements is shown in the table below:
Cost for Added
Project Description Capacity Estimated Cost Capacity to Serve
Growth*
New ES 500 $19,940,635 $14,955,476
Replace 3 ES 0 $59,821,905 $0
Replace 1 MS 1,000 $43,506,840 $3,741,588
HS addition 500 $23,566,205 $11,217,514
Transportation 0 $6,000,000 $0
Land Acquisition 0 $8,000,000 $0
TOTAL 2,000 $160,835,585 $29,914,578
* The cost of added capacity to serve growth equals the percentage of the total cost of the improvements
needed to serve the forecast growth.

VI. CAPITAL FACILITIES FINANCE PLAN
A. Six Year Financing Plan
Facility Estimated
Capacity Total State Match Bonds
Need Impact Fees
Secured $5,800,000
Unsecured 1 $96,000,000 $9,000,000 $64,000,000 $87,835,585
The total cost estimate for the six-year improvements and property acquisition is
$160,835,585. Funding for planned improvements is typically secured from a number of
sources including voter approved bonds, state match funds, and impact fees. The following
information explains each of the funding sources in greater detail.
1. General Obligation Bonds
Bonds are typically used to fund construction of new schools and other capital
improvement projects. A 60% voter approval is required to approve the issuance of
bonds. Bonds are then retired through collection of property taxes. The District must
pass a bond since it is the primary source of funding for the capital improvements
listed in this plan.
2. State Match Funds
State match funds come from the Common School Construction Fund ("the Fund").
Bonds are sold on behalf of the Fund, and then retired from revenues accruing
predominantly from the sale of timber from the common school lands. If these
sources are insufficient, the Legislature can appropriate funds or the State Board of
Education can change the standards. School districts may qualify for state match
funds for specific capital projects based on a prioritization system.
3. Impact Fees
Impact fees are a means of supplementing traditional funding sources for
construction of public facilities needed to accommodate new development. School
impact fees are generally collected by the permitting agency at the time plats are
approved or building permits are issued.
Anticipated property acquisition and new construction is based on the enrollment forecast,
capacity, the District's educational standards and the community's support of finance tools to
fund the improvements.
In the event that planned construction projects and property acquisition does not fully
address space needs for student growth and a reduction in interim student housing
(portables), the Board could consider various courses of action, including, but not limited to:
• Increase class sizes;
• House students in additional portables;
• Alternative scheduling options;
• Change the instructional model, or
• Modify the school calendar
Evergreen Public Schools Capital Facilities Plan 2015-2020 14
VII. SCHOOL IMPACT FEES
The GMA authorizes jurisdictions to collect impact fees to supplement funding of additional
public facilities needed to accommodate new development. Impact fees cannot be used
for the operation, maintenance, repair, alteration, or replacement of existing capital facilities
used to meet existing service demands.
A. School Impact Fees
The county's and city's impact fee programs require school districts to prepare and adopt
CFPs meeting the specifications of the GMA and the county and city ordinances. Impact
fees are calculated in accordance with the local jurisdiction's formula, which is based on
