Assistant superintendent previews renewal levy to sustain Chromebooks, arts and athletics
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Lundstrom told the Oak Harbor School District board that a renewal levy mailing went to households and that a modest levy increase would support 1:1 Chromebooks, athletics, AP courses and elementary art and music as the district’s bond has come off the tax roll.
Assistant Superintendent Lundstrom told the Oak Harbor School District Board of Directors that the district will ask voters to renew a levy and that materials explaining the measure have been mailed to residents. "We're gonna have a levy coming up," Lundstrom said, adding the mailer explains what the levy supports and why the district needs it.
Lundstrom said the district's bond has come off the tax rolls and that rising property valuations have affected levy capacity. He described program areas the levy would support, including one-to-one Chromebooks, athletics, AP courses and elementary art and music that the district said make "a big difference to all of our students within Oak Harbor Public Schools." The board did not take action on the measure at the meeting; Lundstrom indicated outreach and informational materials will continue as the district prepares for the renewal vote.
The article is based on the assistant superintendent's report to the board. No formal vote on the levy occurred at this meeting.
