Passage of Proposition No. 2 enables Auburn School District to fund safety, security, and capital improvements throughout the District and will replace the expiring technology levy with a six-year levy. If voters approve this proposition, the District will use the funds to make Districtwide improvements including: (1) safety and security improvements, including upgraded and expanded security camera systems, secured building entries and access controls, intrusion alarms, fencing, and exterior lighting; (2) upgrades to technology systems, including modernized computer infrastructure, new computers and technology devices for students and staff, enhanced cybersecurity protections, assistive technology, vape detection, and digital safety curriculum; (3) building improvements, including major repairs, ADA improvements, seismic upgrades, roofing, paving, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, flooring, and electrical and plumbing system upgrades; and (4) energy conservation improvements.
The proposed levy will authorize collection of annual excess property taxes of between $17,144,318 and $19,778,484 from 2026 through 2031, for a maximum six-year total of $110,800,000. Based on projected assessed valuation information, the District estimates the excess property tax rate to be approximately $0.77 per $1,000 of assessed value for each year of the six-year levy.
A property tax exemption may be available to senior or disabled homeowners who meet specified income limits. For information regarding exemptions, call the King County Assessor at (206) 296-3920.
