KENT SCHOOLS: 2024 Capital Projects and Technology Replacement Levy
April 16, 2024
The Kent School District’s 2023 bond measure failed to pass, so the school board unanimously approved a resolution to seek voter approval of a levy on April 23, 2024, to fund a portion of the projects that were part of the bond measure, and which were identified as emergent needs of the District.
According to the District, the Capital Projects and Technology Replacement Levy would provide funding over the next three years for health and safety, repairs and improvements, and technology education. The District’s Bond Planning Task Force analyzed data produced from internal and third-party assessments of each facility to determine a list of capital projects.
The failed 2023 Bond asked for $495,000,000 to fund capital projects. The 2024 Capital Projects and Technology Replacement Levy asks for $190,200,000 for both capital projects and technology, over three years.
