2026 February Levy
A Vote for Our Schools: February 2026 Replacement Levy
This February 2026, Othello School District is asking voters to consider a replacement Educational Programs & Operations Levy on the ballot. This levy continues funding for the programs, people, and services our schools rely on every single day.
What This Levy Supports
If approved by voters, the levy will maintain local funding for school operations we value most, including:
-
Classroom teachers and support staff
-
Student counseling and mental health services
-
Early identification and intervention
-
Specialized and elective programs
-
Athletics and extracurricular activities
It helps keep schools running smoothly across buildings, programs, and departments, with fewer disruptions to learning.
Bridging the Gap for Our Students
State funding doesn’t cover everything our students need. This levy helps bridge the gap, providing predictable schedules, consistent services, and stable learning environments for all students.
Important to Know
-
✅ This is a replacement levy — not a new tax
-
💲 The rate remains the same: $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed value
-
📅 It will appear on the February 2026 ballot
This levy continues what our community already supports — strong schools, stable services, and opportunities for every student to thrive.
