Vashon Island School District
Maintaining and improving our educational facilities is critical for the success and safety of our students. The Vashon Island School District's Replacement Capital Levy for Safety, Security, and Technology Improvements embodies this essential commitment to our children's future. This is not a new tax but serves to replace the current levy that is set to expire in December 2024.
The funds from this levy make up about 6 percent of the district's annual operating budget, which is crucial for bridging the gap between state funding and the actual costs necessary for maintaining and advancing our school facilities. Funds from the levy have enabled the district to modernize school facilities, equip students with updated technology, employ essential staff, and provide comprehensive social-emotional and academic support.
If approved by voters this year, the proposed replacement levy would apply from 2025 through 2028 at a rate that is $0.10 higher than the prior collection year. For the owner of a $700,000 home, this means an additional $5.83 per month – a small price to pay for substantial benefits. This funding would go towards projects such as the Chautauqua fire alarm panel, HVAC upgrades, the Chautauqua playground, security systems, and more.
Vote Yes to continue providing a high-quality educational experience for Vashon students.
