Washougal voters will be asked to approve two school replacement levies on Feb. 11.

A three-year maintenance and operations (M&O) levy totaling approximately $19.6 million over three years, 2015 to 2017, will replace the current levy expiring in 2014. Local levy dollars make up more than 20 percent of the school district budget providing money for programs not fully funded by the state. Student health and safety, sports programs, extracurricular learning, performing arts opportunities, textbooks, student transportation, professional development, community education, facility maintenance and student support programs are some of the areas funded by the M&O levy.
