One of the most important attributes of a thriving community is a robust school system. Families locate in areas that offer quality educational opportunities and businesses look for communities with well-equipped potential workers. Marysville citizens took action and approved the school district levy on February 9th and a majority vote of 53% of voters approved the bond. Unfortunately, this majority fell short of the required 60% majority vote. The Campaign Committee is currently exploring the option of resubmitting the bond to voters in an April 27th election. The Campaign Committee feels that voters may not have

been adequately informed about the bond actually creating a tax reduction for citizens while meeting the district’s basic needs. The renewed levy, will help pay for educational and ongoing infrastructure needs and things like utilities, bus transportation, teacher salaries, textbooks and extracurricular activities. The bond measure, originally submitted as $78 million package, will fund the replacement of three of the district’s oldest schools, Liberty and Cascade elementaries and Marysville Middle School. These three buildings had the worst ratings in the district for health, safety and mechanical soundness, and new facilities will enhance the learning environment for students and teachers alike. The original bond also cover some basic repairs to the M-PHS pool, technology upgrades, and small projects and improvements at the existing high school. The Committee is currently weighing multiple options that could reduce
the amount of the bond, and in-turn eliminate certain elements of improvement. Any of these projects will all help stimulate the Marysville economy with employment of local workers and in-town purchases of materials and services. And, of course, the end result will be the ability to better deliver a top-notch education for the children in our town. The participating businesses of the Buy Local campaign continue to report increased traffic from both local and out-of-area customers. The Buy Local campaign is sponsored by the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, North County Outlook, the Marysville Globe and Arlington Times, and The Herald. While keeping more sales tax dollars here at home is a critical need, it’s also important to think about the overall fiscal health of the community in which we live. Continuing to support local schools is a vital part of that goal.
