Students need access to safe, modern, and well-resourced learning environments to meet their full potential. Like Washington's other school districts, Mount Pleasant relies on local funding to cover the costs of operating our schools that state funding can’t alone provide. To that end, Proposition 1 would authorize a three-year Maintenance and Operations Levy to ensure our students have the resources and programs they need.

If passed, Proposition 1 would authorize a three-year Maintenance and Operations Levy at a rate of $195,000 per year, which has been stable since the levy first passed 12 years ago. It is expected to cost $2.13 per $1,000 in assessed property value and could decrease over its three years of collection. At this estimated highest rate, the levy would cost the owner of a $400,000 home approximately $852 annually.

The Maintenance and Operations Levy covers basic operations of our local, K-8 education. With proper funding, our district can close learning gaps, ensure no students slip through the cracks, and offer a foundation from which our students can launch bright futures.
