Superintendent Cara Lewis outlines levy plan to fund school safety, custodial and health-room staff
Summary
Moses Lake School District Superintendent Cara Lewis said levy dollars, if the levy were to pass, would fund school resource officers and classified security personnel, custodial and maintenance staff, and health-room staff; the transcript did not specify levy amount, duration, or staffing counts.
Moses Lake School District Superintendent Cara Lewis said the district would use levy dollars to bolster school safety and building services if voters approve the measure.
"And today, I'd like to touch on the safety and security aspects of how levy dollars would be spent in Moses Lake if the levy were to pass," Lewis said, listing resource officers, classified security personnel, custodial and maintenance staff, and health-room staff as supported areas.
Lewis said the levy would pay for "resource officers in our schools as well as classified security personnel," and for "adequate custodial and maintenance staff to keep our buildings clean and safe." She also said health-room staff are funded by the levy and that "health rooms play a huge role in keeping our students safe as well as keeping kids in school."

The superintendent invited community questions via a posted QR code and said she would respond quickly. Lewis did not specify the levy amount, how long it would run, the number of positions it would create or sustain, or the timetable for placement on a ballot; those details were not provided in the remarks.
The comments were limited to a short presentation of levy priorities and an invitation for follow-up; no formal vote or board action was recorded in this transcript. The district will need to release specific levy figures, timelines and staffing plans for voters to evaluate the proposal further.
