Tacoma School District
Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below school district races on your ballot.
No matter what you look like or where you were born, we all believe every child deserves a quality education that prepares them for a rapidly-changing world.
The board of directors of Tacoma School District No. 1 put two levy renewals on the ballot to help kids thrive. Proposition No. 1 would replace the expiring levy that covers 15 percent of day-to-day operations for the district. This includes school nurses, librarians, paraeducators, improving access for students and staff with disabilities, and improved ventilation and other building maintenance. This levy would maintain the existing rate of $1.92 per $1,000 of assessed home value from 2023 to 2025, with a small drop to $1.91 in 2026. This levy would cost the owner of a median $450,000 home about $864 a year.
Every student and member of the community benefits from safer, healthier schools and improved access to high-quality education. Vote YES on Tacoma School Districts' Proposition No. 1.

Proposition No. 2 is the Tacoma School District's Replacement Levy for Technology Improvements and Upgrades. Like Proposition No. 1, this is a continuation of the community's current investment in our schools. At a starting rate of $0.62 per $1,000 in assessed value, the proposition would continue to fund upgrading technology in our schools, laptop access for staff and students, high-speed internet, network security, and more. These improvements would cost the owner of a median $450,000 Tacoma home $279 in 2023.
Students in the 21st century need modern, reliable, and secure access to technology to thrive at school and in life. Vote YES on Proposition No. 2 for Tacoma School District.
