We are writing in support of the Lake Stevens School District levy. The district will be presenting the community with a four-year replacement levy on Feb. 5. This levy will make up approximately 15 percent of the total school district budget, which will greatly accommodate our growing district.
The current levy averaged a tax rate of $3.43 per $1,000. The four-year replacement levy would tax at a stable rate of $3.21 per $1,000 of assessed property value.
This levy will support a number of programs and activities throughout the district. A majority of each dollar will go to continuing to support teachers and their instructional practices. The money will also fund a number of other important components of our schools, such as transportation, athletics, technology, use of the pool, and maintenance and operations of our facilities.
We encourage you to vote yes for this important decision. A yes vote will continue to ensure a quality education for your children.
