Time running out to turn in ballots for Tuesday special election
EVERETT — Ballots are due Tuesday for special elections in 13 local school districts, where voters are deciding the fate of measures to fund education programs, technology upgrades and capital projects.
Across Snohomish County, a dozen school districts are asking voters to approve four-year levies to pay for classroom staff, special education services and extracurricular activities not covered with state dollars. Each proposed levy would replace one set to expire at the end of 2022.
Combined, these propositions would generate $329.1 million for the districts in 2023, the first year of collections, and $1.41 billion over the course of four years.
In addition, nine districts are seeking approval of separate capital or technology levies to replace ones expiring at the end of the year. These would collectively bring in $592.6 million. The largest is Everett’s six-year, $325.5 million proposal.
