Replace the levy. Keep the rate. Voting yes for the replacement Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy is a continued investment in our students and the future of our community. For more than 50 years, the Central Valley community has supported local schools, helping provide the educational opportunities and services that families value and students need to succeed. This replacement levy funds programs and services that are not fully covered by state funding, including advanced coursework, career and technical education, arts, athletics, extracurricular activities, and other opportunities that enrich the student experience. These investments help prepare students for future careers, higher education, and lifelong success. The levy also supports essential school operations and student services, including paraeducators, nurses, safety and security personnel, counselors, technology resources, and custodial staff. These services help ensure students learn in safe, supportive, and well-maintained environments where they can thrive. Levy rates are an estimation, voters approve the total levy amount, but the district will not exceed $2.50 per thousand of assessed property value, which is the current rate that taxpayers are already paying. Approving this measure reflects our community’s commitment to educational excellence and student success. Strong schools strengthen our workforce, support local economic vitality, and contribute to the quality of life that makes Central Valley a great place to live and work. Vote for the Replacement EP&O Levy. An investment in students is an investment in the future of our community.
