Every day in BISD, students are challenged to grow through strong academics, creative enrichment, and the support of staff who care for their whole well-being. To maintain stability and protect the excellence our community expects, a Supplemental Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy will be on the ballot this November.

The levy is designed to bridge the gap between what the state funds and what it actually costs to provide the education our community values. This unique opportunity was created to help address that ongoing gap. Passing the supplemental levy allows BISD to continue supporting essential staff and programs that would otherwise remain underfunded by the state.

The cost to property owners will be $0.08 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2026, $0.11 in 2027, and $0.13 in 2028. Even with the addition of this supplemental levy, the overall school tax bill for Bainbridge taxpayers will go down due to expiring bond taxes.
