LEARN ABOUT LEVIES: How are schools funded in Washington state? Take a minute to watch a video explaining the different sources.

While the majority comes from the state and federal governments, about 15% of the Spokane Public Schools annual budget is funded by a local 3-year Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) levy to support programs, staffing and services not fully funded by the state.

Spokane voters will consider a School levy on the Nov. 3 ballot. We invite you to learn more at SpokaneSchools.org/2026Levy.
