February ballot measure approved by school board
The Bellevue School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to place a pair of levy proposals on the February ballot. The measures would raise a combined $266 million if approved by voters, and both would replace expiring levies. One levy would authorize the district to collect $191 million over four years to pay for operations and educational programs, including salaries and benefits, transportation, athletics, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, and the district’s seven-period day.
