In a recent government meeting, officials outlined the upcoming timeline and strategies for an important levy vote scheduled for February 11. The meeting emphasized the need for community engagement and the dissemination of factual information regarding the levy, which is crucial for funding local educational initiatives.

Starting Monday, a workshop will delve deeper into the financial details and trends associated with the levy, with insights from financial advisors at Piper Sandler and legal experts from Foster Garvey. The board is preparing to finalize the levy rate in November, which will be presented on the ballot for the upcoming election.

Key dates were highlighted: ballots will be mailed on January 20 and January 24, leading up to the election day on February 11. Officials stressed the urgency of community involvement, noting that while the Wenatchee School District can provide factual information, it cannot advocate for a \"yes\" vote. Instead, they encouraged community members and advocacy groups to play a significant role in promoting the importance of the levy, adhering to the \"80-20 rule\" where 20% of the information comes from the district and 80% from community efforts.

The meeting underscored the critical nature of the levy for sustaining educational funding, urging residents to stay informed and engaged as the election approaches.
