Puyallup School District
Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below school district races on your ballot.
Puyallup School District Proposition 1 would authorize a construction bond to fund school construction and renovation. It is not a new tax but the renewal of a longtime bond that has ensured Puyallup students have the proper resources, infrastructure, and facilities to get a high-quality education for more than 20 years. Proposition 1, if passed, would extend this bond at the current 2024-approved rate of $4.14 per $1,000 of assessed value – continuing to cost to the owner of a $500,000 home approximately $36.25 per month.
Puyallup is growing, and as a result, so too is our school district. Proposition 1 delineates seven major funding destinations, including projects to expand Emerald Ridge, Puyallup, and Rogers high schools, replace Mt. View, Spinning, and Waller Road elementary schools, and construct a new elementary school. The construction bond represents an opportunity to keep pace with school district needs without increasing the current tax rate. In addition, this bond would make the district eligible for up to $152.9 million in state matching funds.
Our kids deserve safe and modern learning environments. Vote Yes on Puyallup School District Proposition 1.
