The Issaquah School Board approved a four-year maintenance and operations levy and a four-year capital projects/technology levy at its Sept. 25 meeting.

The maintenance and operations levy pays for basic general classroom and operational needs such as special education, curriculum, extra-curricular activities, and staff salaries. If approved, the district would collect between $44 million and $54 million per year from 2015 to 2018.

The yearly cost to the owner of a home assessed at $300,000 would be between $705 and $756.

The capital/technology levy, to be collected from 2015 to 2018, includes two components: educational technology and repairs for each school, district-wide. If renewed, the district will collect $41.8 million for technology and $10.2 million for repairs over the life of the levy.

Cost to the owner of a home assessed at $300,000 would be from $183 to $207 a year.

The technology levy will fund replacement of aging computers, printers, servers, and document cameras; staff training and development of online classes/educational opportunities, among other items.

The capital levy would include upgrade of wireless Internet; safety and efficiency software for school bus operations; and continued upgrades to district websites, emergency alert systems, and other e-communications.

The board also is considering a one-year transportation levy that would raise $1.7 million in 2015 to purchase 71 buses to improve the district’s fleet. The owner of a home assessed at $300,000 would pay $27 if the levy is approved.

The board is expected to approve the transportation levy proposal at its Oct. 16 meeting after a small change to the ballot language.

Voters will decide on the levies in a Feb. 11, 2014 election.
