Did you know? The money provided by the state for schools does not cover the actual cost of operating, constructing, and maintaining a school district. Local community funding measures, called levies, capital levies, and bonds, fill the gap between state funds and the real cost of providing the services, supports, and facilities that help students grow and thrive.

These local school districts have levies or bonds on the upcoming February 11 ballot. Please remember to vote! Battle Ground Public SchoolsEvergreen Public SchoolsHockinson School DistrictLa Center School District Mt. Pleasant School District, and Vancouver Public Schools.
