Highline School District No. 401 used multiple funding sources — including voter-approved bonds from 2002 and 2006, State Construction Assistance Funds, Port of Seattle/FAA funds, and State Department of Commerce funds — to build 13 new replacement elementary schools and one new replacement high school. The Port of Seattle and FAA funding connection reflects the district's location near Sea-Tac Airport, where aircraft noise mitigation has historically supported school construction projects. The new elementary schools feature 66,500 square feet, 26 classrooms, earthquake reinforcement, air-conditioning, and other modern amenities suited to the noise-impacted communities they serve.
