The Edmonds School Board voted in October 2025 to place a $361 million replacement Educational Programs & Operations Levy on the Feb. 11 ballot, asking voters to replace the 2022 levy set to expire at the end of this year.
The District is hosting a community information session on the ballot measure starting at 6 p.m. Jan. 8 in the Meadowdale High School Library, 6002 168th St. S.W., Lynnwood
If approved by voters, the District would collect $83 million in 2027 ($1.45/$1,000 assessed property value) rising to $97 million in 2030 ($1.51/$1,000). The funds would pay for necessary educational programs, instructional materials, athletics, transportation and operations support not fully funded by the state, the District said. This measure renews existing funding rather than instituting a new levy, Board Members said at a previous meeting.
The levy represents 15% of the district’s total budget, according to the District website.
Estimated rates and levy amounts to be collected through 2030:
