Superintendent John Welch has recommended that the Highline School Board not run a school construction bond on the May 2010 ballot.

The district will be finishing up two schools currently under construction and will be ready to start on new projects.

However, the superintendent advised waiting until the economy shows stronger signs of recovery.

A citizen's committee has developed a prioritized list of schools to be replaced when the next bond is passed by voters.

In May, the school board will re-evaluate and discuss the possibility of running a bond measure on the same ballot with its educational program levy in spring 2011.
