All of our kids deserve access to a good education in a safe learning environment. Seattle School District Proposition 1 would replace the expiring Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy, which covers 15.6% of the district’s budget.
This levy bridges the funding gap to cover basic educational expenses such as security, arts and athletics programming, special education services, student transportation, and healthy meals. These programs enrich the learning, lives, and futures of our students while helping to close equity gaps across our district.
This levy renewal would increase the current rate over three years, ranging from an additional $0.02 to $0.15 per $1,000 of assessed property value. At the highest rate – which will apply in 2026 and decrease thereafter – the levy would cost the owner of a median-priced $850,000 home approximately $663 annually.
At a moment when schools across the state are already facing large financial shortfalls, it’s essential that we renew our support for Seattle Public Schools’ students and teachers. Vote Yes on Seattle School District Proposition 1.
