It is time once again to cast our votes on the upcoming replacement Maintenance & Operations Levy for Orcas Island Public Schools.  Passage of the levy will provide approximately 25% of our overall district budget:

30% Teacher Salaries

90% Music & Athletics

65% Staff Training

75% Classified Staff Salaries

65% ELL  Program & Staff Training

25% Special Education

These programs are vital to the success of the Orcas Island School District, which is why we hold this particular levy every four years.

Approximate Levy Rate per $1,000 Assessed Value would be $0.93 in 2017, $0.89 in 2018, $0.90 in 2019, and  $0.88 in 2020. These rates would make the new four-year average levy rate lower than the current rate.

I am proud to be a part of a community of advocates and supporters of quality education for Orcas Island children!

Respectfully,

Eric C. Webb

Superintendent
