Battle Ground – The Battle Ground Board of Directors approved a resolution Monday to put a replacement levy before voters on the Feb. 14 levy.
The educational maintenance and operations levy will replace the school district’s current levy, which provides about 23 percent of the district’s total operating budget and expires at the end of 2017, according to a news release.
The levy pays for basic services, including providing technology, security and electives.
The levy funds will provide about $31.7 million in 2018, $33.3 million in 2019, $34.9 million in 2020, and $36.7 million in 2021. The rate for the levy is expected to say the same as the 2016 rate, which is $3.66 per $1,000 of assessed value.
