School may seek parking from National Park Service

The Grand Coulee Dam School District is looking for additional parking for its staff.

Superintendent Paul Turner told his board that discussions are underway with the National Park Service to use the lower end of the NPS complex for school parking.

Turner said last Friday that, on occasion, parking around the new school complex is in short supply.

“If we are eventually able to utilize some space across the street from the school for parking, it would be very helpful,” Turner stated.

It is uncertain what kind of arrangement could be made with the NPS on the parking issue, but “we would have to do some things to make the space usable for parking,” Turner added.

The space under consideration is at the foot of the big sandpile in Coulee Dam.
