Levy


Royal School District has a two-year replacement EP&O levy on the February 10, 2026, ballot.

This is not a new tax. The proposed levy would replace the current EP&O levy, which expires at the end of 2026. If approved by voters, the proposed 2027 and 2028 rates will be the same as homeowners are currently paying in 2025.

If approved, the EP&O Levy will continue support for:

  • Music and band
  • Athletics, activities, and clubs
  • The Amazing Shake competition
  • Classroom teachers to maintain smaller class sizes
  • School Resource Officer (on-campus police officer)
  • School counselors
  • Substitute teachers
  • Technology for learning
  • Routine building maintenance

If approved, the estimated 2027 and 2028 tax rates would remain the same as what homeowners are paying in 2025. The total local collection amount has been adjusted to account for inflation.
