The White Salmon Valley School District board has passed a resolution to seek a three-year maintenance and operations levy in February that is slightly over their current amount.  Superintendent Jerry Lewis says they will ask for $2,780,000 in the first year, which is $150,000 over the current level, and would go up $50,000 each of the following two years.  Lewis says the current levy had an expected property tax rate of $2.61 per $1,000 of assessed value, but as assessed value goes up the rate goes down, so it ended up at $2.42.  This levy projects the rate at $2.52 per thousand.  M and O levy funds cover items in the district budget the state of Washington does not fully fund.
