District Goal: WE empower all students to achieve post-high school success.
Please remember to vote by tomorrow - Tuesday, May 15, 2018! Postmarks don’t count!
If passed, Ballot Measure #34-284 would allow Beaverton schools to preserve 300 teaching positions, maintain class sizes, and help ensure students are prepared for post-high school success. The levy renewal costs $1.25 per $1,000 assessed property value, the same tax rate at the current levy. Homes with the median assessed value of $238,000 would continue to pay about $25 per month. The levy would raise approximately $31 million in the first year.
For more information, including an informational flyer and frequently asked questions, please visit the Local Option Levy Information webpage.
Drop your ballot off at Washington County Elections or one of the area library drop boxes.
