On Wednesday, Ephrata School District administration, school board members and the district's construction teams welcomed Washington State Representative, Alex Ybarra on a tour of construction projects underway at Ephrata Schools. The group toured progress being made on the revitalization of Ephrata Middle School and Columbia Ridge Elementary. These two projects are part of nearly $90 million in capital improvements in progress or planned throughout the school district. Though the projects will cost almost $90 million to complete, only about one-third or $27.89 million will come from local bond dollars. The remainder will be paid in matching funds from the State of Washington. Learn more about bond construction.
