School funding measures failing in 7 Snohomish County districts

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — It was a rough night for public schools in Snohomish County.

While a half-dozen districts celebrated passage of critical funding measures, seven others saw voters turning down their requests for money to fund education programs and capital improvements.

Voters in the Marysville, Granite Falls, Sultan, Monroe, Snohomish and Stanwood-Camano districts opposed property tax levies that would pay for classroom staff, special education services, athletic programs, computers and facility improvements not covered by state dollars. Each proposed levy was intended to replace one set to expire at the end of 2022.

Meanwhile, the Everett School District marked strong approval of a six-year, $325.5 million capital levy, a year after voters turned down a roughly similar-sized bond measure.

education has to compete with crystal meth.

2. The only thing they see is a little extra in taxes

They cannot see beyond their own asses.
