Bonds & Levies

Local funding measures— called levies and bonds —help fill the gap between what the state provides and the actual cost of offering high-quality education, programs, and facilities our students deserve. 

Bonds are for Building

Bonds fund major construction and renovation projects — things like building new schools, modernizing existing facilities, and purchasing land. Because these projects are long-term investments in our community, bonds require a supermajority (60%) of voter approval to pass. 

Levies are for Learning

Levies support the daily operations that keep our schools running strong. They fund essential staff, classroom programs, and services that aren't fully covered by the state. Levies are typically approved for a shorter term — usually two to four years — and must be renewed by voters when they expire. 

The total levy amount is shared among property owners in the district, based on the value of their property.
