San Juan Island Schools Educational Programs and Operations Levy

The Educational Programs and Operations (EPO) Levy is the local property tax that supports our public school’s programs not funded by the state. 100% of this tax stays in our community.
 
Voters are asked to renew this levy every four years.  Our district is dependent on this local levy to continue with excellence in public education from kindergarten to 12th grade.  

The levy pays for approximately 16% of existing programs and is essential to maintaining quality instruction and programs that are necessary for a well-rounded, comprehensive education for our community’s children.

This levy also supports Counseling, Nursing services, para-educators, office staff, transportation, food service, technology, specialized teachers for art and music, classroom teachers necessary to maintain lower class sizes, and health and safety measures for our schools.
 
If this levy does not pass, our school district will lose over $2 million from the $13.5 million budget, severely reducing existing programs. Please vote yes for Proposition 1. We need your vote to support our public schools and our children’s future.
