Levy 2026

 

Levies – Vote February 10, 2026 ✅

 

On February 10, 2026, two existing Lake Washington School District levies are up for renewal. The Clara Barton PTSA  has voted to endorse both levies, and we hope you’ll consider voting YES. These levies stay in our community, directly support LWSD students, and must be renewed every 4 years to continue the funding.

 

✅ Levy 1 – Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O)
Renews funding for important student programs and staff not fully funded by the state, including:
* Programs: Special Education, multilingual learning, early learning, highly capable programs
* Staff: Counselors, nurses, and mental health supports

 

✅ Levy 2 – Technology & Capital Projects
Renews funding for technology and building upkeep, including:
* Building improvements: Repairs and updates to HVAC, electrical, and other systems
* Learning technology: Classroom devices, curriculum, and infrastructure

Bobcat Fund

  

The Clara Barton Elementary Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization, bridges the gap between what state funding provides and what our community envisions children need for success. The Clara Barton PTSA relies on financial donations and volunteer hours to bridge that gap. Exceeding our fundraising goals allows us to offer more programs and save for large schoolwide projects.
