Elections

Local community funding measures, called levies and bonds, fill the gap between state funds and the real cost of providing the structures and services that help students grow and thrive.

Bonds are for building: Bonds pay for capital facilities projects, including remodeling, construction of facilities and acquisition of land. Bonds require a supermajority of 60% to pass. 

Levies are for learning: A levy bridges the gap between the state’s allotted funding for schools and what our schools need to maintain current funding levels for staff, programs and day-to-day operations.

Levies have a shorter term than bonds, usually three to six years, and must be renewed by voters when they expire. The amount is spread across the district's property owners, assessing the levy on each in proportion to the size and value of their property.
