DID YOU KNOW? – The replacement bond and replacement levy will address student needs while keeping the tax rate in the future similar to the current tax rate.

The replacement bond will replace the high school bond that will be paid off in 2026. The replacement levy will replace the four-year levy that was approved by voters in 2022.

For both a bond and a levy for schools, voters approve a set amount that is needed. If the assessed value of property in the community goes up, the combined tax rate will go down. Schools do not get more money when the assessed value goes up. Voters approve the set amount. If the assessed value increases, the combined tax rate decreases.

The Board of Directors listened to community members who said to address student needs in West Valley while keeping the tax rate in the future similar to the current tax rate.

Ballots are due Tues, Feb. 10, 2026.
