REPLACEMENT LEVY ELECTION - February 11, 2020
Yelm Community Schools will be asking the community to continue funding of the expiring levy. This is not a new tax. In fact, the state constitution established the levy so communities could address local needs and goals. Learn more about how the funds are used to deliver educational programs in the district by visiting our website or talking with your building principal.
