Lea Thompson : Lake Chelan School District to make replacement levy decision tonight

Chelan School District board members will decide how much and what the district's replacement maintenance and operations levy will fund tonight.

District officials discussed running a three-year levy with gradually increasing rates of 2 percent, 2.5 percent, and 3 percent annually.

District Superintendent Rob Manahan said the annual increases help offset increasing costs of doing business.

"We don't want to stretch our community to the point that they can't support their families," said Board Member Lea Thompson at the district's last levy workshop meeting.
