Highline School District Agreement to Join Airport Communities Coalition (ACC)

This 1997 intergovernmental agreement, signed by the Highline School District and several cities in the Sea-Tac Airport vicinity — including Des Moines, Normandy Park, Burien, Federal Way, and Tukwila — establishes a coordinated framework for addressing airport noise impacts and related funding for schools. The agreement supersedes earlier agreements from February 1992 and June 1996 between the same parties. It outlines provisions for settlement authority, dispute resolution, and the role of the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) Executive Committee in approving any claims or compromises.
