West Valley School District is asking the community to support two replacement levies in the November 3, 2026 election
Local voter-approved levy funding helps bridge the difference between state and federal funding and the cost of operating schools and maintaining school facilities. Levy dollars are used within the West Valley community to support students and schools.
Difference between levies and bonds
What is a levy?
Levies are for Learning - A levy is a short-term, local property tax passed by the voters of a school district that generates revenue for the district to fund programs, services, and maintenance projects that the state does not fund or fully fund as part of “basic education.”
Levies require a simple majority to pass (50% + 1)
What is a bond?
Bonds are for Building - A bond provides funding for capital projects such as purchasing property for schools, constructing new schools, or modernizing existing schools. Bonds are sold to investors who are repaid with interest over time from property tax collections, generally between 10-25 years.
Bonds require a super majority to pass (60%)
