A pair of committees get to work this month to create educational specifications that will guide remodeling and expansion of Tahoma High School and Tahoma Junior High.

The purpose is to create a vision for how those schools could look in the future.

In a meeting with the Tahoma School Board on March 16, representatives of DLR Group architects outlined the process and received direction from the board and Superintendent Mike Maryanski.

The two “ed spec” committees will have about 30 members each, including staff members, administrators, parents, board members, and students.

They are scheduled to deliver a recommendation to the school board in June.

The educational specifications created by the committees will be used by the school board to develop a construction bond measure that will be sent to voters as soon as spring of 2011.

The proposed school expansion and remodeling is prompted by recent demographic estimates that indicate the district’s enrollment will exceed capacity in about five years.
