Levy Renewal Facts Shared in Video, Ballots Mailed Wednesday

Today we're sharing a video with facts about the three proposed levy renewal measures, which help fill the gap between funding provided by the state of Washington and the true cost of operating the Issaquah School District. If approved by voters in the February 10, 2026, election, the measures would maintain the district's current projected total combined tax rate. They would replace expiring levy measures including:

• Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy, which represents nearly 17% of the district's annual budget. If approved, it would continue operations of student services, enrichment and safety beyond what is provided by state and federal funding. It also allows for expanding student well-being supports and broadening academic opportunities.
• Capital (Technology and Critical Repairs) Levy, which delivers up-to-date classroom technology, applications, device support and network infrastructure. It also addresses urgent safety needs, prioritizing the highest-impact repairs to buildings and systems. No funding is proposed for constructing new schools.
• Transportation (School Bus) Levy, which provides safe, sustainable, and reliable transportation while managing maintenance costs through fleet modernization.

The three levy measures work together to cover funding gaps and support mental health, safety, transportation, technology and critical repairs.
