It’s time to get your ballot in!
Ballots for the Edmonds School District replacement school programs and operation levy and the capital construction bond measure are due in the mail or a county ballot drop box by Tuesday, Feb. 11, in order to be eligible for tabulation.
Proposition 1 would authorize the school district to replace an expiring levy to collect tax funds for its general fund. The collections would average $62.5 million per year from 2015 through 2018. Proposition 2 would authorize the collection of tax funds to finance various capital improvements, including the construction of a couple new facilities, throughout the district.
Each proposition requires a 60 percent yes vote for passage. If approved, Proposition 1 would result in a 2015 tax rate of approximately $2.77 per $1,000 of tax valuation for property owners in the district. The tax rate would be slightly higher in 2016-2018. If Proposition 2 gains voter approval it would mean an approximate increase of 48 cents per $1,000 of tax valuation for 2015-2018.
As of Sunday, 18.4 percent of the ballots mailed to Edmonds School District voters had been returned to the Snohomish County Election Division.
