February 10, 2026: Renewal Levies and Bond

Northshore School District is running three funding measures in the February 2026 election. These measures work together to ensure all students and staff have access to updated learning supports, facilities, and technology. These measures include:

Capital Projects Bond

The bond improves schools across Northshore and modernizes schools most in need. Bonds provide local funding for safety and security, school construction, accessibility, modernization, and maintenance. These projects are not funded by the state. 

The bond continues our commitment to providing all students across Northshore with access to safe, modern learning spaces.

Why do districts rely on levies and bonds?

School districts like ours rely on voter-approved funding measures to bridge the gap between what the state funds and what it costs to support our students. 

Thanks to the past generosity of our community, previous funding measures have funded technology to all Northshore students, made safety and security updates across the district, and started construction projects at Inglemoor High School and Leota Middle School as well as funded expansion projects at Crystal Springs Elementary, Fernwood Elementary, Kenmore Elementary, Maywood Hills Elementary, Woodin Elementary, and Sorensen Early Childhood Center. These projects replaced portables with permanent learning spaces, implemented additional building improvement and outdoor learning projects, and enhanced safety and security features across Northshore.

The February 10, 2026 measures will ensure Northshore can continue providing supportive learning environments for all of our students and staff.

 

What will the measures cost?

The total combined tax rate of the February 2026 measures is estimated to be $3.20 per thousand of assessed property value. For a home valued at $1M, that would total $3,200 annually or $267 a month. This tax rate is actually lower than what our community approved in February 2022, which had a projected tax rate of $3.28. 

  2027 2028 2029 2030
EP&O Levy Renewal $1.40 $1.44 $1.48 $1.53
Tech Levy Renewal $0.54 $0.52 $0.49 $0.47
Bond $1.26 $1.24 $1.23 $1.20
Total Combined Tax Rate $3.20 $3.20 $3.20 $3.20

Amounts are rounded to the nearest cent and are listed per $1,000 of assessed property value.
