At its regular meeting on November 19, 2024, the School Board will be voting on resolutions that would place two levies on the ballot in February 2025. Both replace levies that expire in 2025. 

About the Levies

The three-year Educational Programs and Operations Levy (EP&O) would replace the expiring EP&O, which was approved by Seattle voters in 2022. 

The six-year Building Excellence VI Capital Levy (BEX VI) would replace the expiring Building Excellence V Capital Levy (BEX V), which was approved by Seattle voters in 2019. 

About the Statement of Interest for EP&O and BEX VI Levy Pro and Con Committees

As required by state law, the district must appoint committees to prepare written statements in support of and in opposition to each levy. These statements will appear in the King County voters’ pamphlet. Each committee is limited by law to three members, although committees may seek the advice of others. 

If you are interested in serving on a committee advocating for approval or rejection of either levy, please submit an online application. The application will ask for the following information for each committee you wish to serve on: 

• Your name and contact information 
• Which of the following four committees you wish to serve on: 
  • For approval of EP&O 
  • For rejection of EP&O 
  • For approval of BEX VI 
  • For rejection of BEX VI 
• A brief statement of why you should be selected to prepare the written statement you have selected. 

Committee applications are due Monday, October 7, 5 p.m.
