Passage of Proposition No. 2 would authorize Renton School District to replace an existing levy for renovation of school facilities that will expire at the end of calendar year 2026. The proposed replacement capital levy will continue funding educational technology equipment, infrastructure and improvements, including, but not limited to: (1) acquiring, installing, implementing and modernizing District-wide technology, student technology, integrated digital curriculum, STEM learning systems and facilities, technology training for teachers to support classroom learning and other educational technology equipment, infrastructure, systems and facilities; and (2) making other improvements and upgrades to the District’s technology systems and facilities.
The proposed replacement capital levy will also continue funding costs to renovate, modernize, improve and upgrade existing school facilities, including, but not limited to: (1) making health, safety, security, energy efficiency, educational, athletic, facility and infrastructure improvements; (2) addressing clean building performance standards, including the Washington Clean Buildings Act; and (3) acquiring land and interests in land as sites for new and expanded facilities of the District.
The proposed four-year capital levy would authorize collection of taxes to provide $30,000,000 each year from 2027 through and including 2030. The levy rate per $1,000 of assessed value required to produce these amounts is estimated to be $0.72 in 2027, $0.69 in 2028, $0.65 in 2029, and $0.62 in 2030. Further information is available on the District’s website www.rentonschools.us. Exemptions from taxes may be available, call the King County Department of Assessments, 206-296-3920.
