This levy is necessary to ensure that all students in the Issaquah School District are able to travel to and from school safely. The only thing this levy funds is buses for transportation. Issaquah School District services 110 square miles and transports students via school buses over 1.4 million miles per year. Approximately 10,000 students are transported each morning and afternoon. The 1-year transportation levy will replace old buses with new more efficient models that align with the state’s safety standards and replacement cycle.
An efficient transportation fleet helps with fuel savings & lower maintenance costs, which means more dollars go into the classroom for our students. It is also part of the School District’s efforts to make its fleet as green friendly as possible.
We are asking you to vote for this levy to ensure that all the students in the district are able to fully participate in school and to help the district in its efforts to run an efficient transportation system.
