'Set for the next four years': Monroe schools levy officially passes
MONROE — The successful passage of a vital school tax measure brought a sigh of relief for Monroe School District advocates.
The district’s four-year programs and operations levy passed with about 52% approval. Just shy of 9,000 of the 17,226 ballots cast for the measure were “yes” votes. The Snohomish County Auditor’s Office certified the results this week.
The district ran the same measure in February, but it failed with just 46% approval.
The levy is projected to bring in $68.9 million over four years. It sets an annual cap for how much the district can collect each year, including a maximum of nearly $15.9 million in 2023.
