• NO. While good progress was made, schools are not yet

fully funded.

• Much of the funding for the increase came from reducing

local levies and increasing state property taxes.

• Seattle taxpayers will see higher taxes beginning in 2018,

with no program increase except limited staffing enhancements.

Is K-12 Fully Funded?

2017-18 Budget Comparing Direct Services to Support Services The entire district budget is dedicated to advancing the strategic goal of providing educational excellence and equity to every student. We recognize that some portions of the budget provides direct services to students in the school building, while other services provide support to the people working in the schools. The district is committed to ensuring that the majority of the budget should provide direct services to our students.

BUILDING EXCELLENCE V (BEX V) CAPITAL LEVY PLANNING

13

Establishes priorities for selection of capital levy projects

• All projects should align with the district’s mission and vision.
• The health, safety and security of students, staff and public are important and

must be protected.

• Capacity Management must be met to assure that the short-, intermediate- and

long-term enrollment are matched with available space, taking into account costs and educational adequacy of facilities.

• Building condition scores for building systems, such as exterior, HVAC,

plumbing, structural shall be considered.

• Educational adequacy of buildings shall be considered, focusing on raising

student achievement.

• Planning will take into account past capital projects and future levy plans.
