White Salmon Valley School District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn met with members of the Southwest Washington ESD 112 Construction Services Group this week to begin preliminary work on facilities planning. Polkinghorn says the first step will be to have a Building Condition Assessment done. Polkinghorn says there is an opportunity for the district to apply for a Small Schools Modernization grant from the state. He says they district could be eligible for up to $12 million, but they need to get the assessment done before they apply for the grant.
