This year, the Camas School District has put the renewal of the Capital Levy for Technology, Health, and Safety on the ballot to continue maintaining student technology needs. This levy, like Proposition No. 6, is not a new tax but a continuation of the support provided by the two existing school levies that expire in 2024.
The money allocated from the levy pays for many vital technology needs including basic learning and safety assets like computers and security cameras. Further, about 98 percent of all hardware and software purchases in the districts' schools are reliant on this levy. Beyond technology, the levy is critical for essential infrastructure maintenance that keeps our students dry, warm, and safe – including roof repairs at Camas High School and Liberty Middle School, boiler replacements, and turf replacements at key athletic fields.
At the levy’s proposed rate of $0.39 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value, the owner of a median-priced $650,000 Camas home could expect to pay about $254 dollars a year to continue maintaining school buildings and technology.
An active investment in the ongoing safety, health, and technological empowerment of our students builds a foundation for Camas youth to thrive. Vote Yes on Proposition 7, the Capital Levy for Technology, Health, and Safety.
