In February 2020 local voters approved the replacement Educational Programs and Operations levy. These levy funds fill the gaps that state funding does not cover. For example, the levy funds support paying for teachers, special education employees, counselors, custodians, paraprofessionals and facilities personnel. The levy funds also help pay for athletics in the middle and high schools, field trips, music, drama and other enrichment activities. Levy dollars support staff training focused on reaching higher levels in literacy, math and science. From a program perspective levy funds help maintain literacy and math efforts, behavioral programs, counseling services, special education programs, provide graduation resources, homeless student support services and athletic opportunities for kids. The Educational Programs and Operations levy benefits every school in the district.
