Replacement of expired Battle Ground student educational programs and operations levy to appear on ballot in February 2026

Battle Ground Public Schools is placing a replacement educational programs and operations levy on the February 10, 2026 special election ballot, saying state and federal funding no longer cover the rising costs of educating more than 13,000 students in 19 schools. If approved, the levy would help pay for student safety, smaller class sizes, special education, teachers, nursing, mental health support, sports and extracurricular activities, as well as career and technical education and college preparation programs, with collections scheduled from 2027 through 2030 at one of the lowest projected local school tax rates in Clark County. https://clarkcountytoday.com/news/replacement-of-expired-battle-ground-student-educational-programs-and-operations-levy-to-appear-on-ballot-in-february-2026/ #BattleGround #ClarkCounty #SchoolLevy #EducationFunding #BGPSchools #StudentSupport #CTE #SpecialEducation #SchoolFinance
