Watch our latest video about the levy!
Thank you to the community members who have taken part in our series of public levy presentations, asked thoughtful questions, and taken the time to learn how levies work!
It is vital for our community to have all the facts and information about the details of this replacement levy as ballots will reach mailboxes later this month.
Earlier this week, Superintendent Deborah Rumbaugh and Deputy Superintendent Ryan Ovenell led a community conversation about the levy and answered questions. Take a moment to watch the video below to learn more about the levy before you vote on Feb. 13!

Our next community levy presentation is 5:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, January 11, at the Lincoln Hill Retirement Center (Social Room).
