ABOUT THE LEVY
Why Vote Yes?
Our schools are one of the most important investments our community makes. This renewal levy will help keep that investment strong.
The 2026 EP&O Levy provides critical local funding that keeps schools safe, supports student learning, provides extracurricular opportunities, and helps ensure every child has access to the resources they need to succeed.
Voting Yes means continuing local funding that directly supports students, teachers, and programs not fully paid for by the state.
This includes academic support, athletics, arts, mental health resources, music, safety, and transportation. This investment touches thousands of students and helps recruit and retain the outstanding teachers and staff who prepare these students for college, careers, and life.
Strong schools support local businesses, strengthen property values, and prepare the next generation of workers and leaders.
Let's renew our commitment to strong schools by voting Yes this election!
An EP&O Levy has been a part of Kent School District funding for decades. This proposal continues a long tradition of local investment in our schools while maintaining one of the lowest school levy rates among neighboring districts.
This levy is a continued investment in educational opportunities today and in the strength of our community tomorrow. Please join us in voting Yes for our students, our schools, and our shared future.
