Peninsula School District will place a Replacement Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy on the February 10, 2026, ballot. This measure is a renewal of the levy voters approved in 2023, which is set to expire at the end of 2026.

Local levy funding makes up about 17% of our overall budget and helps support student programs and services that are not fully funded by the state. If approved, the 3-year renewal levy would continue to fund essential programs and staff, such as:

✓ Academic Excellence: The levy supports educators, early childhood education, arts, music, curriculum updates, highly capable programs, and technology specialists who keep learning connected and engaging. 

✓ Student Support: Levy dollars support nurses, psychologists, counselors, speech and language support, and paraeducators who help meet students' everyday needs.

✓ Safety and Security: The levy helps fund safety and security measures across our district, including school safety officers who help keep our campuses secure.

✓ Athletics and Activities: The levy funds student athletics at middle and high schools and other after-school activities, clubs, and other enrichment opportunities.

✓ Music and the Arts: The levy funds music and the arts across our schools, including band, choir, performing arts, and the fine arts. 

✓ Maintenance and Custodial Services: The levy helps fund preventative building and athletic field maintenance as well as custodial teams who keep our schools clean and ready for learning every day.
