Sumner-Bonney Lake School District seeks volunteers for committee to write for and against statements regarding upcoming replacement levies, due to expire in 2024

11.16.23

The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District is seeking citizens who are interested in writing “for” or “against” statements for inclusion in the Pierce County Voters’ Pamphlet. The statements relate to the District’s upcoming Replacement Educational Programs & Operation Levy and Replacement Levy for Instruction Technology Improvements and Security Upgrades measures that will appear on the Feb. 13, 2024, ballot. Both measures are due to expire in 2024 unless approved by the voters.

The Pierce County Elections Division requires that Sumner-Bonney Lake School District appoint persons known to favor the measures to serve on the “for” committee, and also to appoint persons known to oppose the measures to serve on the “against” committee.

Individuals from the community who wish to participate on either committee should email their name, mailing address, phone number and email address to communications@sumnersd.org by 5 p.m. on Nov. 30.

The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District Board of Directors will take action on the appointments at the Dec. 13 Board Meeting. The District will notify successful candidates of their committee appointments on Dec. 13, and provide instructions on the statement requirements and deadlines.
