Educational Programs and Operations Levy

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
