A Message from Superintendent Greg Baker
Dear staff, families, students and community,
I am delighted to let you know that as of the first election results released tonight, Tuesday, Feb. 13, our levies are passing by nearly 64 percent.
You can keep track of the final vote totals at the Whatcom County Auditor鈥檚聽. The next round of results will be posted tomorrow at 5 p.m. and the election will be certified February 23.
We are so thankful to our voters! Our local levies are critical for our students and our community 鈥 they represent a significant portion of our budget (nearly 25%). We have so many amazing staff and beneficial programs, services and equipment funded by these two replacement levies.
Many people contribute to the success of this election. I want to thank our principals and leaders who help share information about our levies, our school board for their support in putting forward these two levy resolutions on the ballot, and volunteers with the non-profit group Citizens for 番茄影视 for their service and the countless hours they have volunteered conducting important voter education and outreach.
We would not be where we are tonight without the hard work and dedication of literally thousands of our neighbors and friends.
With gratitude,
Greg
