Community meeting about the replacement levy
A common question so far has been how this replacement levy relates to property values — which have generally been increasing in our area in recent years.
When voters approve a school levy, they OK a capped dollar amount that can be collected — voters aren’t approving a specific tax rate. So if your property values increase in an area, the rate generally decreases to ensure the district collects no more money than what voters approved.
Please join us at our next community presentation about the replacement levy from 5:30-6:30 p.m. November 7 at the Stanwood Library.
Additionally, if your group/organization would like to schedule an informational in-person presentation about the replacement levy from Superintendent Deborah Rumbaugh, please email scsdinfo@stanwood.wednet.edu.
There’s still time to join CFAC
You are invited to join the Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) to help us develop our long-term capital facilities plan and provide input on facility use to ensure the community’s values and priorities are accurately represented.
This school year, CFAC intends to analyze future capital projects, review the importance of levies and bonds as well as discuss middle school attendance areas.
If you are interested in joining this committee, or would like to know more, please complete this form.
