Technology is an essential part of student learning in 2025, and renewing the Technology Levy is critical to keeping Tahoma students competitive, connected, and safe. A “yes” vote on Proposition No. 2 renews an expiring levy that supports technology and capital project needs across Tahoma School District No. 409.
If approved, the levy will continue funding that supports student and staff technology, improved computer systems, telecommunications and network upgrades, physical security and cybersecurity, software licenses, online learning tools, assistive technology for student accessibility, and ongoing training so teachers can effectively use technology in their classrooms.
The Technology Levy ensures students have access to modern devices and digital tools while still developing essential skills like collaboration, communication, and problem-solving. These experiences give students the digital literacy and real-world technology skills needed for success in future careers and continued education. The levy also protects sensitive student and family data and supports safety systems such as key card access, radios, and security cameras.
The tax rate remains $0.39 per $1,000 of assessed value each year, as is it now. Some senior or disabled homeowners may qualify for exemptions; contact the King County Assessor at (206) 296-7300.
