On February 10th, 2026, the Northshore School District is running three funding levies to ensure that the students and staff can have access to extra help and technologies. A levy is a local, voter approved property tax that provides funding to school districts to pay for things that aren’t covered by the state. Northshore is applying three measures to ensure that the students and staff can have access to all the extra help and technology they may need. As of February 2026 the tax is now $3.20 for every thousand dollars of property, which is actually less than what was approved in 2022 $3.28.
The first is called Educational Programs and Operations Levy Renewal. This continues the funding for essential parts of the school district. This includes important staff like nurses and counselors, family engagement specialists, IT support, and the security staff. It also funds extracurricular activities like clubs, music, and sports, as well as students that are in special education, English learners, or experiencing homelessness. This levy is also able to help in class size reduction.
The next one is called the Capital Projects Bond which provides funding to maintenance and rebuilding schools. This is when the school district takes out a loan and uses it for major or long – term investments. This will be paid back with interest through the property taxes over the next 10-25 years. The Capital Projects Bond allows us to fund districtwide safety for playfields and athletic spaces, building improvements, and building expansions. In relation to North Creek this will help us get new kitchen equipment, as well as providing district safety and security.
The final one is called the Technology Levy Renewal. This continues the funding to maintain investment in technology for all students and staff. This ensures that we are able to get technology updates and replacements, and modern systems and infrastructure to keep data safe.
