‘Yes’ vote will keep LWSD schools strong

This year the Lake Washington School District is asking you to renew the four-year Education Programs and Operations Levy; renew the four-year Technology and Computer Levy; and approve a 20-year bond measure.

The bond issue would raise $755 million to build schools needed to house a projected growth of 2400 students over the next four years

These measures are a bargain, in my view, since the overall tax rate will $4.73 per $1,000 of assessed value. This amounts to an increase of about a dollar a day for many of us or $365.

Lake Washington School District has a consistent record of accountability, using local dollars exactly as portrayed and voted upon, within budget, for sustaining high performing public schools.
