Support
Supporters argue that the Federal Way High School was originally designed as an elementary school and is very old as are many school facilities in Federal Way School District. Thus it drastically needs to be updated, renovated and improved to provide an environment conducive to providing quality education. In addition, they point out that property owners will pay a little more than half the actual cost of construction, with the remainder coming from School District and State resources.[1]
Opposition
According to those who oppose the proposition, the Federal Way High School is not producing good educations for the students and are not preparing them for college or jobs. They insist that the School Districts should offer a plan for increasing the quality of the education they offer before the voters provide money for facility improvement and replacement.[1]
