Siting of schools—Periodic updates.
In a county that chooses to site schools under RCW

(2) Identifying school siting criteria with the county, cities, and regional transportation planning organizations;

(4) Working with the county and cities to identify school costs and funding for the capital facilities plan element required by RCW
