Kent’s school district is a cornerstone of the community, and everyone thrives when our students are safe, happy, and successful at school. We know that in order to provide learning environments that bring the best out of everyone, we need to invest in teachers, classroom resources, and supportive services for all student needs.

Earlier this year, the Kent School Board directors adopted a resolution to support educational programs and operations expenses. Kent School District Proposition 1 proposes to replace the expiring Educational Programs & Operations levy. This measure simply replaces the expiring levy with a new one in line with students' basic needs. If passed, the levy would allow the city to continue supplementing state budgets with a small property tax in order to provide funding for arts, athletics, nurses, para-educators, mental health specialists, school safety, infrastructure maintenance, and more. 

Funds from levies represent about 15 percent of the district's budget, an amount critical to keeping our students supported with a modern education in a safe environment. Keep Kent schools strong. Vote Yes on Kent School District Proposition 1.
