Battle Ground Public Schools is running a replacement levy on the Nov. 2 general election ballot. The levy is not a new tax. If approved, this levy will replace the one expiring levy that expires at the end of 2021, and will continue to fund essential student programs and services at a lower tax rate. Levy dollars make up the difference between what the state provides for basic education, and what it actually costs to provide students with options that prepare them for today's careers.

Levy information is a available:

• Levy Facts web page
• Levy video
• Levy flyer
