Dear Hoquiam School District Community:

During the November 13, 2023 School Board Meeting, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve one local funding measure for the special election ballot on February 13, 2024.

The proposed measure includes:

Replacement Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy, which provides funding for educational programs, supplemental programs, and basic operating expenses that aren’t fully funded by the state. This includes, but not limited to the following:

• Music and Arts

• Athletics and Extracurricular Activities

• Staffing

• Educational Materials

• Technology

• Transportation

• Food Services

• Operation expenses

This levy replaces the existing EP&O levy which expires at the end of 2024.

Replacement Educational Programs and Operations Levy - Resolution No. 23-08

"Our schools serve as the beating heart of our community," expressed Dr. Mike Villarreal, Superintendent. "These structures, along with the essential education students acquire on our grounds, pave the way for lifelong achievements, community bonds, and cherished memories. I am grateful for the board's dedication to delivering top-notch education while maintaining fiscal prudence."

We greatly appreciate our community's continued support.
