Presenter outlines Measure 3592 levy renewal for Lake Oswego SD 7J
Summary
An informational presentation described Measure 3592, a May 2023 local option levy renewal that would continue a $1.64 per $1,000 assessed-value tax to provide about $16 million annually for teacher positions, class sizes, instructional days, electives and mental-health supports; voters are asked to decide by May 16.
A presenter outlined Measure 3592, a proposed renewal of the Lake Oswego SD 7J local option levy, saying it would continue a tax rate of $1.64 per $1,000 of assessed value and provide about $16,000,000 annually for district operations.
The presenter said levy revenue currently accounts for 15% of the district’s annual general operating budget and described what that funding supports: class sizes, educator positions, instructional days, elective programming and mental-health services. The presenter framed the amount as equivalent to roughly one-third of the district’s classroom teachers or nearly two months of school.
Measure 3592 is scheduled for the May 2023 ballot; the presenter stated that if the measure passes, property owners would continue to pay the existing tax rate of $1.64 per $1,000 of assessed value. If the measure does not pass, the presenter said the current tax rate would not continue and the objectives described would not be funded “as proposed.”
The presentation also listed the measure’s recent passage history, saying voters approved the levy in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2013 and 2019. The presenter directed listeners to loschoollevy.org for more information and urged voters to remember to vote by May 16.
The presentation did not include a named speaker or a recorded formal vote; it served as an informational summary of the levy language, funding amounts and the ballot schedule.
