Superintendent warns of potential $380,000 loss if state phases out levy equalization
Summary
Superintendent told the board that proposed state changes to levy equalization could reduce district revenue by about $380,000 through 2028 and said he plans to testify in Olympia to advocate for the district.
The superintendent told the board that state policy discussions could reduce the district’s levy equalization funding and estimated the district could lose “like, $380,000 between now and the end [of] 2028.” He said he expects to spend time in Olympia to testify and meet with legislators to explain the district’s position and funding needs.
The comment was framed as a cautionary projection; no new state action was reported in the meeting. The superintendent characterized the potential reduction as part of a broader pressure from property‑rich districts and said the district must tell its story to lawmakers to avoid unanticipated revenue declines.
