SUMMARY: In 2006 the Washington State Office of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Department of
Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED) held the Summit on School Siting. The premise
of the summit was that school districts and local jurisdictions can work in concert to mesh education
facility needs with broader community needs and the growth strategies of cities. The City ofBremerton
(City) and the Bremerton School District (District) were awarded a grant by CTED to work cooperatively
to study the concept of locating a new middle school on the west-side of Bremerton and that this study
was to use the findings of the Summit of School Siting as a guide. The City and District have completed
the work on this study and staff is bringing it forward to the respective governing bodies for adoption.
The report makes the following findings:
1) An alternative pattern of development in which a non-school/community services are co-located
with a school facility is desirable.
2) Locating the school closer to the urban core of the city makes the facility more accessible to the
population center.
3) There are significant public benefits to developing a middle school in conjunction with a
community activity center.
