Proposition 1 is Replacement of an Expiring Levy for Educational Programs, Maintenance and Operations.
The Shoreline School District's current four-year educational programs, maintenance and operations levy will expire at the end of 2014. This levy provides the District with approximately 26% of its General Fund operating revenue.
The levy pays for the basic education programs not supported by state and federal funding, including nurses, family advocates, librarians, and instructional materials. It helps support smaller class sizes, special education, highly capable, remedial and vocational education programs, building maintenance and utilities, and transportation.
Funds are also used to support extra-curricular student activities, including music, drama, and athletics.
