Special Election results posted Friday by King County Elections show all three of our proposed levy measures passing with more than the required 50% plus one vote. Slightly more than 23,000 ballots have been counted, the elections department reports. The results are scheduled to be certified on May 6. 

The Issaquah City Council voted unanimously last week to approve proposals for the district’s High School 4 and Elementary School 17 on the Providence Heights property. This approval allows the district to move forward with the project, which will provide more space for students at each of the district’s overpopulated comprehensive high schools.

Just one week until Election Day. The three proposed funding measures would fill the gap between what state funds supply and the actual cost of needed student services and programs. To learn more about the Renewal Educational Programs & Operations Levy, which provides 15.6% of the district’s operating revenue, visit our website. Details about the Renewal Capital (Technology & Construction) Levy, and the Transportation (School Bus) Levy are also online.

Keep your eyes out for the Levy Edition of the “FOCUS” print newsletter, which will arrive in mailboxes throughout the district this week. The newsletter is full of information about the three levy measures on the April 26 Special Election ballot: Prop 1, a Renewal Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy; Prop. 2, a Renewal Capital (Technology & Construction) Levy; and Prop. 3, a Transportation (School Bus) Levy. King County Elections will mail ballots on Wednesday, April 6.
