Vote yes for kids on Feb. 13, 2024
The Battle Ground Public Schools board of directors decided unanimously on Nov. 13 to put a capital levy before voters in the February 13, 2024, special election. The capital levy would pay to:
-
Improve roofs, heating and cooling systems and lighting
-
Improve security and replace older technology
-
Build or upgrade spaces in which students learn construction trades, culinary skills and health sciences, enhancing their ability to get jobs that pay well after they graduate.
​The capital levy is a positive step toward getting the most out of our investment in schools.
​
Same tax rate as expired bond measure
If the levy is approved, it would take the place of a bond measure that expires at the end of December 2023 at the same rate.
-
Expiring bond measure rate: $0.44 per $1,000 of assessed property value
-
Three-year capital levy rate: $0.44 per $1,000 of assessed property value
