Edmonds, Northshore place school levies on February ballot
EVERETT — Voters in the Edmonds and Northshore school districts will decide on ballot measures in the February special election.
On Tuesday, the Edmonds school board unanimously passed a resolution to place a levy for educational programs and operations on the Feb. 10 ballot. On Monday, the Northshore school board unanimously passed resolutions for two levies and one bond.
In Edmonds, 15% of the district’s budget relies on levy funding. The current educational programs and operations levy is active through 2026. If the ballot measure is approved, funding would continue through 2030. Funds from the levy will go toward “teaching, instructional materials and support, athletics and extracurricular activities, transportation, and other educational programs and operations expenses not fully funded by the State,” the resolution reads.
“This is a replacement levy, this is not a new levy,” school board President Nancy Katims said. “This is very important for people to understand.”
