Election News
Willow Creek School District Levy Request (2026–2027)
The Willow Creek School District is requesting voter approval of an Elementary General Fund Levy in the amount of $8,287.92 for the 2026–2027 school year.
This levy will help support teacher salary increases. During the 2025–2026 school year, the district adopted the STARS Act to improve teacher compensation, making salaries more competitive and helping retain high-quality educators. As a result, teacher salaries increased by over 20%. The state provides an additional Quality Education Payment to districts participating in the STARS Act.
If approved, the levy is expected to increase property taxes as follows:
• Approximately $3.06 per year for a home with a market value of $100,000
• Approximately $9.17 per year for a home with a market value of $300,000
• Approximately $19.58 per year for a home with a market value of $600,000
•
The School Board has chosen not to increase taxes for the permissive levies in the elementary and high school Bus Depreciation and Building Reserve Funds.
We appreciate the continued support of the Willow Creek community and its commitment to our schools.
