NOVEMBER 3, 2026, CAPITAL BOND FOR SCHOOLS 
A proposed $400 million school construction bond will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot and includes projects at every school in Mukilteo School District. At Pathfinder Kindergarten Center, the proposed projects focus on safety and security and technology infrastructure. 

PATHFINDER KINDERGARTEN CENTER 
Pathfinder Kindergarten Center was built in 2017. Currently, the building systems are within their life cycle and operating as expected with no need for major improvements. The priority for Pathfinder continues to be enhancements to safety and security systems and enhancements for technology. 

2026 CAPITAL BOND FOR SCHOOLS 
The volunteer Capital Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) evaluates and prioritizes facility needs across the district to help ensure bond funding is focused on the highest-priority projects. For the 2026 bond, the committee recommended $400 million in projects from approximately $975 million in identified needs.  

The proposed bond includes the following improvements at Pathfinder Kindergarten Center:  

Building access controls – Add additional doors to the access control system and install door contacts on all exterior doors, allowing staff to monitor whether any exterior doors are open. 

Integrated door hardware – Install door hardware that can be locked from the inside using a thumb turn that clearly indicates whether it is locked or unlocked. The focus will be on spaces beyond standard classrooms, including the library, gym, common spaces, and offices. 

Technology infrastructure improvements – Modernize aging network infrastructure to support teaching, protect student and district data, and keep essential operations running.
