One Levy, One Purpose:
Every Student Matters, Every Future Counts!
The Mary Walker School District is excited to announce the upcoming EP&O Levy Renewal Election on February 11, 2025. This is not a new tax but a renewal of the levy that has been essential in supporting our schools and students. For years, our EP&O levy has helped fund programs and services not fully covered by state funding, ensuring every student in our district has the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed.
If approved, this levy renewal will provide funding over the next four years to support vital programs, such as:
Smaller class sizes, additional teachers, and classified positions
Special Education Services
Student Transportation
Athletics, Arts, and Extracurricular Activities
Technology upgrades and classroom supplies
Here’s what the renewal will raise to support our students:
$627,243 in 2025 for collection in 2026
$674,287 in 2026 for collection in 2027
$724,858 in 2027 for collection in 2028
$779,223 in 2028 for collection in 2029
This renewal ensures we can continue offering programs and services that make a difference in the lives of our students and our community. Together, we can show that every student matters and every future counts!

Mark your calendars for February 11, 2025, and let’s renew our commitment to the success of all Mary Walker students. Thank you for supporting our schools!
