The Sequim School District has officially launched its Design
Advisory Committee to help guide the vision and design of projects
funded by the recently approved bond measure. The District prioritized
broad community engagement in forming this group, which now includes 35
selected members representing staff, parents/guardians, students, and
community members.
The Committee held its first meeting on Thursday, May 1, 2025, and
will continue to meet regularly to carry out its charge. Members are
tasked with:
- Researching best practices for school facilities—including
elementary and high school buildings, athletic spaces, secure entrances,
and transportation/traffic flow;
- Soliciting and incorporating community input;
- Sharing their own expertise and perspectives; and
- Reviewing and providing feedback on design concepts.
The Design Advisory Committee is an essential part of ensuring that
the bond-funded projects reflect the needs and values of the Sequim
community. Members are committed to attending scheduled meetings and
operating under established Relational and Operational Community
Agreements that foster respectful and effective collaboration.
Upcoming Meeting Dates:
- May 15
- June 12
- August 21
- September 25
- October 9
- October 23
- November 6
- December 4
Meetings are scheduled from 4:00–6:00 PM. Additional meetings may
be added, and some sessions may include off-site tours of other school
district facilities for inspiration and research.
