The Lakewood School District is at a critical juncture where voters can make strong investments in our local schools through two levies on the ballot this election: one that continues basic education funding for operations expenses not covered by state funds, and one to enrich the safety and quality of Lakewood education.
Lakewood School District Proposition 2, if approved by voters, authorizes a capital projects and safety levy to fund repairs that our school district cannot afford to keep neglecting.
An investment in our schools is an investment in our entire community, and when our Lakewood students thrive, we all benefit. For too long, the school district has been scraping by with the bare minimum resources to provide a quality education for our students. It’s time to take bold action to set our students up for academic success and bright futures.
Proposition 2 would authorize a capital levy to fund safety and capital expenses that have fallen by the wayside. At an approximate rate between $0.87 and $0.99 per $1,000 of assessed property value over four years, the owner of a median $500,000 Lakewood home could expect to pay about $435 a year. If passed, the district will have the funds for much-needed improvements in plumbing, roof repair, intercom, HVAC, electrical, fencing, fire alarms, flooring, sidewalk repairs, lock-down systems, and energy efficiency.
Our students deserve to learn in safe, welcoming, and modern environments. Vote Yes on Lakewood School District Proposition 2.
