Marysville schools prepare for bond and levy vote
Published on Wed, Aug 26, 2009Read More Schools
The Marysville School District's current 4-year levy, approved in 2006, runs out this year. An election on February 9, 2010, will ask voters to approve a new levy and bond request.
The levy will provide $21 million per year for day-to-day learning activities. Levy assessments equal nearly 20 percent of the district's operating budget.
The Citizens' Planning Committee has reviewed facility needs district-wide and is recommending a bond issue to pay for the replacement of the oldest buildings, Liberty and Cascade elementary schools and Marysville Middle School. The bond also includes resources for pool improvements, Marysville-Pilchuck planning, technology and health and safety improvements.
The bond issue is valued at $86 million, and with the expiration of the current levy, homeowners in Marysville will see "no new taxes" if the bond and levy are both approved.
