Vote YES to ensure district funding keeps up with the growing student population

Like other Washington school districts, Castle Rock relies on local bonds and levies to ensure our schools have the resources needed to provide a high-quality education for every student. Proposition 1 would authorize an Educational Program and Operations (EP&O) Replacement Levy, renewing funding from the existing levy which is set to expire.

Currently, the expiring levy accounts for 12.96% of the district’s budget, and the levy’s renewal rate is a reflection of the growing student body and increasing budget. If passed, the EP&O Levy would renew at estimated rates between $1.72 and $1.79 per $1,000 in assessed property value over its three-year term. At the highest end, the levy renewal would cost the owner of a $215,000 home approximately $385 annually.

The Castle Rock School District is growing in size, and in order to continue offering high-quality learning, our community must keep up with the costs of the basic operations. The levy funds basic programs and expenses that enrich local education, keep our students safe at school, and close learning gaps through opportunity. Proposition 1 is earmarked to fund costs for technology, special education, instructional materials, athletics programming, secretaries, paraeducators, nurses, maintenance and repairs, counselors and school psychologists, and more.

Vote Yes on Castle Rock School District Proposition 1 to give our students the learning environments, resources, and programs they need to thrive.

Approve 8201 to grow WA Cares Funding!

SJR 8201 will grow Washington’s long-term care fund for aging people and people with disabilities, keeping premiums low, without costing taxpayers a single penny. Also known as the “Allow Investment of Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Fund Amendment," SJR 8201 is a constitutional amendment adding accountability protections to our long-term care fund, requiring that 100% of investment income be used for long-term care.

If passed, SJR 8201 would increase the state’s long-term care fund for vulnerable Washingtonians by at least $67 billion over the next 50 years by allowing the nonpartisan Washington State Investment Board to diversify investments. In the state legislature, 128 legislators voted in favor of the measure, and only 16 were opposed. Additionally, it has the support of groups such as the Washington State Nurses Association, the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, Planned Parenthood, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Vote APPROVED on SJR 8201 to protect and grow our state’s independent long-term care fund for aging adults and people with disabilities.
