School levies failing in Marysville, Stanwood-Camano, Lakewood
EVERETT — It was another tough election night for public schools in Snohomish County.
As Granite Falls and Sultan school districts cheered early success of vital funding measures on Tuesday, three other districts saw their voters turning down requests for money to fund education programs and capital improvements.
Voters in the Marysville School District, for the second time this year, opposed property tax levies that would pay for classroom staff, special education services, athletic programs, computers and facility improvements not covered by state dollars. As a result, the school board will soon be considering layoffs and program cuts to offset millions of dollars that will be lost starting next year.
In Lakewood and Stanwood-Camano, proposed levies for capital projects and technology needs were losing.
