Columbia School District #400

Columbia School District will be placing two expiring levy measures on the February 2026 Ballot; an Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Replacement Levy and a Capital Technology Replacment Levy. These levies continue funding that supports essential staff, student programs, and daily operations by bridging the gap between what the state funds and what it actually costs to operate our schools.

A levy is a property tax based on assessed property value that is voted on by the local community. In order for a levy vote to succeed it must be by a simple majority (more than half) of the votes cast for that measure. Since this vote is limited to just the local community and it succeeds or fails by a simple majority that mean that your vote really matters for a lot!
