Battle Ground Public Schools hopes the second time will be the charm for its replacement levy after the school board unanimously voted at Thursday’s special board meeting to place a levy back in voters’ hands in November.
The district’s current educational programs and operations levy expires at the end of 2021. If approved by voters in the Nov. 2 special election, held in conjunction with the state’s general election, the district will collect $1.99 per $1,000 of assessed property value annually through 2025. It’ll raise $115.7 million over the next four years to maintain a host of educational programs, extracurricular activities and staffing for day-to-day operations, according to the district.
