Every vote counts: Ballots arriving in mailboxes soon
Pierce Count Vote Graphic

All registered voters will receive ballots in the mail over the next few days for the Tuesday, Feb. 8 election.

Tacoma Public Schools has two important propositions on the ballot. Both replace existing levies that will expire soon. They are not new levies.

Proposition 1 would renew funding for school basics such as teachers, nurses, counselors, arts, music and athletics. It would also renew funding for maintenance to systems that provide clean air and safe water, and improved accessibility for students and staff with disabilities. 

Proposition 2 would renew funding for expanded technology access and enhancements for the computers each of our students and staff members use at home and at school.

Both Prop. 1 and Prop. 2 affect every neighborhood school in the district.
