SEQUIM — Property owners will be faced next year with another maintenance and operations levy request to keep schools running, but exactly when and how much they’ll be asked to pay is still in the discussion stage.
School Board members Monday night traded ideas on how to pitch the idea to voters, who in 2000 rejected two successive levy attempts.
Two years later, a $4.625 million levy passed. Those funds will stop at the end of 2004.
First-year Superintendent Garn Christensen said he likes the idea of having the levy at the same time as the March 2, 2004, presidential primary.
But other board members say they’re nervous about not having enough time to recoup and wage another campaign in case that levy fails. They also want more time to study the issue.
