News from Battle Ground Public Schools
Capital levy update
On Feb. 13, voters in the Battle Ground Public Schools district were asked to approve a three-year capital levy to provide funding for needed repairs and upgrades, as well as an expansion of popular high school skilled trades programs. With over 52% support, the levy was approved.
"I’m grateful for the support from staff, families and community members," said Superintendent Denny Waters. "The capital levy will fund repairs and/or updates at every school in the district and go a long way toward keeping students safe, warm and dry."
This is the first time Battle Ground Public Schools has run a capital levy. The district's board of directors approved the measure after considering community feedback that prioritized maintaining existing buildings, in addition to improving security and upgrading several skilled trades programs at the high schools. The capital levy will provide the district with funding to address some of the issues while retaining the lowest overall tax rate of any district in Clark County.

The 2024-25 academic calendar is now available for next school year. Here are some of the key dates:
