2522 -- A RESOLUTION of the Board of Directors of Lake Washington School
District [ ] providing a special election to be held therein
on April 23, 2019, for the District’s Capital Projects Fund for constructing and equipping additions to four elementary schools, constructing and equipping additions to Lake Washington High School classrooms, auxiliary gym and commons, and district-wide building safety and security modifications to meet the current and future educational programs for its students.
The proposition is to authorize the district to levy for an additional tax of:
$20,000,000 in 2019 for collection in 2020,
$20,000,000 in 2020 for collection in 2021,
$20,000,000 in 2021 for collection in 2022,
$20,000,000 in 2022 for collection in 2023,
$20,000,000 in 2023 for collection in 2024,
and $20,000,000 in 2024 for collection in 2025
Proposed projects include: classroom additions at Lake Washington High School, including auxiliary gyms and commons; classroom additions at Carson Elementary, Franklin Elementary, Rose Hill Elementary, and Twain Elementary, including expansion of core facilities where feasible; and district-wide student safety and security upgrades. The district currently funds construction projects through prior bond measures. With the addition of a 6-year levy, the tax rate for construction will be maintained at the current rate of $1.16 of $1,000 assessed valuation (AV) through the combination of prior bonds and the 6-year capital project levy.
The overall tax rate per $1,000 of assessed valuation, including this measure AND previously approved bond and levy measures is estimated to be $2.60 in 2019 and is estimated [ ] at $2.60 in 2020 and beyond.
An overview of the Capital Project Levy recommendation will be presented to the board of directors at the regularly scheduled meeting on November 19, 2018. Board action on the measure is scheduled for December 3. The public may comment at these meetings and the 11/19 meeting.
