Ballots are due by Tuesday 4/26. Have you voted yet? There are 3 reveal levies on the ballot. Your vote can make difference! Like a subscription, levies must be renewed or the funding will be lost.

Did you know? The EP&O Levy provides 15.6% of the district's current funding for mental health supports, special education, academic programs, nurses and safety and security measures. The EP&O pays $7.3 million towards the special education budget not covered by State and Federal funds. The EP&O pays for each of the 27 schools to have a nurse on staff; the state only funds 3.5 nurses for the entire district. The EP&O funds 13 mental health counselors, contracted with Swedish Medical, available to all students. The EP&O also funds elective or Career & Technical Education opportunities for all high schoolers and STEM opportunities for all K-12 students.

The Capital (Technology & Construction) Levy will maintain technology services, provide critical technological enhancements, and ensure students will have increased access to a laptop device for school needs. The Construction portion of the levy will maintain building safety standards and repairs (HVAC, roof repairs, etc.) and help complete the construction of High School #4 to alleviate student overcrowding at Skyline and Issaquah High, after a delay in building and increasing construction costs.

The Transportation (School Bus) Levy is a 1-year measure which funds the purchase of new energy efficient buses to reduce transportation costs. ISD transports approximately 7,500 students each morning and afternoon over 110 square miles, which adds up to 1.4 million miles driven each school year.

ALL local education levy dollars approved in ISD stay in our district to support our local ISD students, schools and staff.
