As the state Legislature continues to look for ways to properly fund our schools, it is still necessary for districts to secure funding through levy requests. As a longtime teacher at Chimacum schools, I can attest to the genuine need of these tax dollars.
Twenty-two percent of [Chimacum School District]’s revenue is supplied by this levy and it pays for basic educational needs. This is not a new tax. This levy will replace the 2014 levy, which is set to expire in 2017.
As the parent of two [Chimacum High School] graduates, I can also attest to the excellent education my children received at Chimacum. I feel fortunate and proud to live in a community that values education and has consistently voted to support our schools with local levy dollars. I urge you to continue that support and vote yes. Failure of this levy would be devastating to our schools.
