With pizza in the mix, a group of volunteers meets at the Lake Roosevelt Jr/Sr High School Hub Friday afternoon to talk about presenting information to the public on the upcoming school district tax levy measure voters will be asked to approve in ballots to be mailed out this month. Chair Karen Depew holds up a poster with a graphic also presented on a button advocating supporting schools, drawn by LR graduate Vanessa Ankney. The group plans to speak with local groups who want to know more about the levy, write letters to newspapers, use social media, and give out flyers explaining the need. The school board intends to hold a town hall-style meeting next Monday to offer facts on the measure. It starts at 5:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. - Scott Hunter photo

The Grand Coulee Dam School District school board will hold a meeting on Oct. 10 at 5:30 p.m., in the Raider Hub at Lake Roosevelt where they will hold a question-and-answer session about the upcoming educational levy.

That levy proposes to collect $2 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation to replace three levies collecting at a rate of $4.20 per $1,000 that are expiring at the end of 2022.

More on the levy can be found in a July 27 Star story titled "Smaller school levy confirmed for Nov. Ballot" which can be found online at https://www.grandcoulee.com/story/2022/07/27/news/smaller-school-levy-confirmed-for-nov-ballot/15591.html.
