The election will be certified Dec. 3 by the Washington Secretary of State office.“We’ve done it!” according to a Facebook post by Citizens for Kent Schools. “Thank you to everyone who voted yes for our students and teachers, and to all the volunteers and donors who supported the levy campaign.”The levy will replace the existing one, which expires in December 2027, and last until 2031. A total of 50.83% of voters approved the current operating levy in November 2023. District leaders wanted the measure on the November 2026 ballot rather than next spring because voters historically have favored levies on the general election ballots compared to spring special election ballots.If the measure had failed, district leaders would have gone back to voters in the spring.Designed to supplement inadequate state funding, the levy will raise money for the district through local property tax dollars. Approximately 15% of the district’s current overall budget is funded through the operating levy. About 77% of the district’s funds come from the state and the rest is from federal and other sources.</div></body>
