Voters in the Lyle School District will be receiving ballots in the mail soon for the district’s replacement maintenance and operations levy. With the state of Washington limiting local school tax levies during its revamp of education funding to a $1.50 per thousand dollars of assessed value, the rate in the Lyle School District for the proposed two-year levy will drop from its current $2.90 per thousand. Superintendent Ann Varkados says the district is facing cuts, and they would be deeper without the levy. Ballots must be in by February 12.
