ENEWS COPY & PASTE:  ISD Renewal Levy will be on the February 11th, 2020 Ballot The Issaquah School District will be asking voters to approve the renewal of the EP&O levy in February which to allow the district to continue to support the programs and services funded by the previous 2 year levy, which is expiring in 2020. Like a subscription, local school levies must be renewed, or the funding will be lost. The 2020 EP&O Levy Renewal Levy continues support for: Career & Technical Education • Mental Health Counselors • Special Education • Safety & Security • Dual Language Program • Early Childhood Learning & Preschool Opportunities • Highly Capable Program • Professional Development for Teachers • Expanded High School Schedules (7 periods instead of 6) at Issaquah High and Skyline High The Issaquah School District is asking for less than it is legally allowed to collect. This maintains its current programs, while remaining fiscally responsible and sensitive to the over all tax rate. This is NOT a new tax. The proposed 2 year levy replaces the expiring 2018 levy at a lower overall tax rate. Please remember to VOTE and if you have a student who will be 18 by the next election, please have them register to vote!
