KSD 2023 Levy Renewal
I continue to share information about the upcoming November 7 elections. There are two propositions on the ballot. The EP&O O is a three-year replacement levy and funds nearly 15% of total operating revenue for the Kent School District. It currently accounts for $74,000,000 in annual funding, including over $40,000,000 in salary costs not funded by the State. It would support:
- Safe and secure schools (three-quarters of our safety staff)
- School health & support services (including nurses, social workers, & psychologists)
- Athletic, music, and art programs; advanced coursework and classes
- Over 190 FTE positions, including classroom teachers and paraeducators
The Capital Projects and Technology levy is proposed to extend four years. This means both levies will now be in alignment on the renewal calendar and will be up for reauthorization at the same time in 2027. This alignment saves taxpayers the extra expense of running multiple levies in alternate years. This proposition would provide the majority of funding for health and safety improvements, facility repairs, the 1:1 technology (laptops/tablets) education program, and program expansion.
- Health and safety - upgrade the intrusion alarm system
- Cybersecurity to protect sensitive data and information
- Repairs and improvements to maintain healthy learning environments
- Pre-K program space at every elementary school
