The First Levy Results Are In - It's Looking VERY Good For The District

Superintendent Holmen announced all Levies are ahead by 54%.  It's a win!

New Levy for Critical Construction Needs:   

Total cost for all the projects is $295 million, allowing for construction costs, construction inflation, sales tax, and other fees.  

The Construction Levy will provide classroom space for 2,350 students by: 

• Adding a new elementary school on underdeveloped land on Redmond Elementary Campus, with up to 24 classrooms = 550 students
• Additions at Finn Hill, Kirkland and Redmond Middle Schools = 600 students
• Additional high school capacity for about 1,200 students
• Acquiring property for future schools.

This Levy authorizes an average of $49.2 million per year over six years. The levy rate is estimated to be an average of $0.42 per $1,000 of assessed value. This rate combined with previously approved construction measures will total $1.32 per thousand assessed value. The tax rate for construction levies will decrease over time as past bonds are paid off and prior construction levies expire.
