Lakewood School District Proposition 2 authorizes a levy for capital improvements and safety. Voters may recognize this proposition from its appearance on the February Special election ballot, where it narrowly failed to gain enough votes to pass.

Proposition 2 was approved to appear on April ballots again by the Lakewood School Board directors earlier this year, who believe the funding is critical to delivering a quality education to our students. At a rate between $0.87 to $0.99 per $1000 of assessed value over its four years, the levy would cost the average homeowner in Lakewood about $440 in 2025.

The levy addresses much-needed capital improvements and technology concerns of the school district, including maintenance and improvements in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, communications systems, and energy efficiency. Keeping our schools up to date with learning technology and resources also helps close equity gaps so that all students have the chance to meet their potential in school.

When our students are thriving, our whole community is stronger. Vote Yes to invest in our students’ highest potential with secure, updated learning environments.
