Local voters will decide whether to support at least one school levy in the spring of 2022 that would take effect in 2023.
The Grand Coulee Dam School District currently has three levies, all expiring before 2023.
Superintendent Paul Turner described them to the district board as an “original” levy which charges $1.50 per $100,000 of assessed property value for a person’s property taxes; a “supplemental” levy of $1 that supports it; and a “capital” levy of $1.70 that goes toward facility expenses.
Turner said the school district board of directors has until December to make decisions on rerunning the levies.
He said the original and supplemental levies are needed to operate and would be combined into one levy for the next vote.
The board could choose not to ask for a vote on the capital levy in 2022. Other funding options for facility expenses might become available, Turner said, and voters may not support it during trying times.
“People would say things aren’t so positive right now,” he told the board on that topic.
