Spokane School District Proposition 1 would replace an expiring educational programs and operational levy to fill critical gaps in state funding and continue offering students a high-quality education.
All of our students deserve the opportunity to meet their potential. However, the far right continues to attack the accuracy and equity of public education while attempting to cut critical funding for school districts across the country. It is more important than ever to ensure that Spokane students have modern, safe, and properly equipped learning environments.
If passed, Proposition 1 would replace the educational programs and operational levy, which is set to expire, at an estimated rate of $2.50 per $1,000 assessed value. At this rate, the owner of a $350,000 home could expect to pay about $875 a year. The levy covers a number of essential operations that are not already covered by state funding such as athletics and arts budgets, learning technology upgrades, extracurricular programs, safety and security, health staff, and advanced courses.
Our students can't succeed in under-resourced learning environments. We must invest in their needs to prepare them for today’s world — vote Yes on Spokane School District Proposition 1.
