Ballots will go out next week for a pair of White Salmon Valley School District levies.  One is to renew the district’s educational programs and operations levy that accounts for about 17 percent of the district’s annual operating budget, and the other is a capital levy for technology along with critical maintenance and infrastructure upgrades.  District Superintendent Sean McGeeney says with continues growth in White Salmon, the tax rates from the levies would actually drop the district’s tax rate from $2.43 per $1,000 of assessed property value to $2.40.  The estimated cost for the owner of a $500,000 home is about $1,200 per year.
