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.
