State funding only accounts for about 75 percent of Bellingham School District’s capital needs. This election, voters have the opportunity to approve two levy replacements that cover this gap through operations and infrastructure funding.
Bellingham School District Proposition 12 replaces the expiring levy that finances basic school operations expenses by leveraging between approximately $1.20 and $1.27 per $1,000 of assessed property value over the next four years. The owner of a median-priced $675,000 Bellingham home would pay about $850 annually to keep these important resources going for our students.
Bellingham’s school district is a cornerstone of the community, and everyone benefits when our students are safe, happy, and successful at school. If passed, the levy would lower class sizes, provide for arts and athletics programs, support food and wellness services, fund field trips, and pay salaries for educational, health, and other staff. It would also fund special education programs, advanced coursework, and multi-lingual curriculums so that all Bellingham students can be in courses that best serve their needs.
Vote Yes on Bellingham School District Proposition 12 to ensure our students have the fundamental resources for a quality education.
