Levy Presentation

This was a public presentation by the Snoqualmie Valley School District on January 21, 2026, focused on the upcoming renewal levies for educational and technology funding. District leaders detailed how the levies, totaling about $34 million annually, support approximately 20% of the district's general fund operations, including staffing, transportation, special education, extracurricular activities, and technology infrastructure. They emphasized the importance of these levies in maintaining class sizes, expanding career and technical education programs, and funding safety and health services not fully covered by the state. The technology levy is a straight renewal to sustain existing equipment and services, while the educational program and operations levy includes a modest increase to address inflation, unfunded state mandates, and program enhancements such as expanded art instruction and early learning classrooms. The district also compared its levy funding per pupil to neighboring districts, noting it remains competitive and fiscally responsible. Attendees were encouraged to vote in the upcoming all-mail election and to access detailed budget and levy information on the district website.
