At the October 22 School Board meeting, the Board unanimously voted to place two replacement levies - the Educational Programs and Operations Replacement Levy and the Replacement Levy for Technology, Safety and Facility Improvements - on the February 10, 2026, ballot. Both measures would replace the existing levies approved by voters in 2022, which expire at the end of 2026. Our local levies bridge the gap between what the state funds and what it actually costs to educate Snohomish students.
