Proposal to cancel April special elections could hurt schools, district officials say [View all]

Citing concerns over the health of elections workers, Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman earlier this week called on Gov. Jay Inslee to cancel all special elections scheduled in April.

But school district administrators worry that if voters won't have the chance to pass levies and bonds this spring, it could hurt schools.

North Mason School District Superintendent Dana Rosenbach said losing the April levy would cause her to lay off teachers this fall.

“It would result in probably close to $4 million in cuts, most of which would be layoffs,” Rosenbach said.

We're a vote by mail state. Why would we be canceling an election?
