If approved, the levy would support programs that help give students skills and knowledge for today’s economy so that they leave school prepared for a wide range of options, including joining the workforce or military, getting a technical certification or going to college. Levy dollars would help maintain the current level of career and technical education classes and programs, as well as classes that help students prepare if they are going to college. Levy funds also would be used to provide curricula that are up to date and address the knowledge and skills that students need to enter the workforce. In addition, a replacement levy would fund student safety, smaller class sizes, special education, teachers, nursing, mental health support and sports/extracurricular activities. 

Battle Ground is now the only school district in Southwest Washington without an educational programs and operations levy.  If a replacement is approved, tax collection would begin in 2027 and continue through 2030. All registered voters who live in the district are eligible to cast a ballot.

More information is available on the district website.
