Lake Stevens School District's replacement Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy and replacement Technology Levy have both passed, and were certified by the Snohomish County Elections Office on Feb. 18, 2022.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote, and to everyone who volunteered their time to share the importance of these levies.
The renewal of the EP&O Levy funds critical day-to-day school operations, including educator and nurse salaries, reduction of class sizes, Special Education, safety and security systems, early learning programs, and extracurricular activities, including athletics and music.
The renewal of the Technology Levy continues our investment in student and employee technology. This levy funds student computers to continue our 1:1 program, tech support for students and families, training for staff, network security, safety equipment, and updates to technology programs and systems to ensure our students and employees have the most up-to-date learning supports.
Our Board of Directors was very intentional in setting a levy amount that allows us to continue to provide the programs and services that our community has come to expect, while also keeping our tax rate as low as possible. We work very hard to be fiscally prudent and we appreciate our community’s longstanding history of supporting our schools.
