The Importance of Levies
In February 2024, Camas residents will vote on replacement levies for the Camas School District.
These are not new levies. They replace, or continue, two levies expiring at the end of 2024, one for Educational Programming and Operations (EP&O), one for Technology/Capital.
The levies are vital to maintaining the high quality of education in Camas.
Why? Camas School District (like all Washington school districts) relies on local, voter-approved levy dollars to make up the difference between state funding and basic education costs.
The funding difference is significant: levies make up nearly 15% of Camas School District’s budget.
“Bonds are for Buildings” and “Levies are for Learning.” Levy dollars can only be allocated to programs that directly impact student success and achievement in the classroom.
Levies need 50% support to pass.
Ballots will be mailed in late January. Election Day is Feb. 13, 2024, and — with your support — the continued funding will begin in 2025.
