Battle Ground School District
The Battle Ground School District relies on local levies and bonds to fund the 35% of basic operations that aren’t covered by state funding. Proposition 8 would replace an expiring local levy to ensure our students can continue to access basic resources, enrichment, and opportunities.
The expiring Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy was last approved by voters in 2021. The replacement levy is estimated to cost $1.95 per $1,000 of assessed property value across all four years; this would cost the owner of median priced $595,000 home approximately $1,160 annually. This rate is lower than the 2021 levy’s rate and, historically, the actual EP&O rate ends up being lower than the estimated rate.
This levy would specifically fund special education costs, student safety measures, the arts curriculum, mental health resources, athletics programs, and school buses. The Battle Ground School District operates with a lower-than-average administrative overhead and has received praise for responsible use of taxpayer funds.
Vote Yes on Battle Ground School District Proposition 8 to ensure every local student has the resources and support they need to thrive.
