Seattle School Levies

Voters within Seattle School District will be voting to renew two expiring levies that provide essential funding for schools.  Please note:

1. This is an all-mail election, and ballots MUST be postmarked by February 9 to be counted.

2. Post offices will close at regular hours.

3. Only two drop boxes will be open.

A three-year operations levy

State and federal funding does not cover the basic, high quality education that our children deserve. Seattle school levies fund 23% of the Seattle Public schools operating budget for:

  • Teachers
  • Librarians
  • Counselors
  • Textbooks
  • Bilingual & Special Education Specialists

A six-year capital projects levy

This six-year school levy which replaces an expiring one, will provide hundreds of important safety health and maintenance improvements, academic programs, and technology updates- including green, sustainable technologies- to our Seattle schools and grounds.
