WS Schools To Seek Levy In February

The White Salmon Valley School District will be seeking what is now being called a “replacement enhancement” levy in February.  The enhancement levy replaces what used to be known as a maintenance and operations levy, part of the Washington Legislature’s revamp of how education is funded in the state in the wake of the McCleary decision.  The district will be running a three-year levy that would start at $2.22 per $1,000 of assessed property value, and goes down to $2.19 and $2.16 in years two and three.  Superintendent Jerry Lewis says this levy would allow the district to get back to a stable funding picture after having to dip into reserves to balance the current school year’s budget.  The levy will be on the February 11 ballot.
