With overcrowded schools 'falling apart,' Sultan tries bond measure

SULTAN — On a rainy day at Sultan Elementary School, the hot lunches turned cold.

Those meals were prepared in a tiny kitchen next to the gym. With no cafeteria seating, children at the school of nearly 700 students walked trays back to their classrooms to eat there. In the other half of the gym, separated by a curtain, a P.E. class went on, with about 15 kids shouting and giggling.

The only heat in the gym came from knee-high space heaters.

Sultan School District leaders believe a nearly $80 million bond measure on the ballot this month would solve problems in this school and others in the district. It will increase property taxes, making it a tough sell to some residents.
