Over the past two years, the district has reviewed and discussed school facility maintenance needs, education adequacy and student safety.

All aspects of the district’s facilities were analyzed, and educational spaces were rated based on their ability to support the district’s educational vision. The result is a Facility Plan developed in collaboration with school staff, parents and community leaders.

The district considered options for addressing the identified facility needs, including placing a bond measure before Oregon Trail voters.

The original portions of Boring Middle School are over 76 years old and, while well-maintained, have significant needs, both inside and out. The roofing, fascia boards and soffits need replacement. Exterior siding needs repair, as well as the interior finishes. The site paving is in poor condition, the hydronic pipe heating system leaks frequently and the building ventilation is inadequate.
