Thank you in advance for joining us in supporting our local public schools. The operational levy that is on the ballot due February 14 is a replacement levy which funds 25% of the public school’s operating expenses.
Washington State continues to make cuts to education. This levy helps to make up the difference and all the money received goes to our local schools. The levy is good for four years and will actually cost you slightly less than what you are currently assessed. Strong schools help build a strong community. These children are our future – get out and vote, and vote YES!
