Select Committee on Families, Education, Pre-School and Promise Levy
Select Committee on Families, Education, Pre-School and Promise Levy
The Families, Education, Pre-School and Promise Levy is the City of Seattle's levy to support equitable education so all of our learners, from birth to graduation, can reach their full potential. With the Families and Education Levy (2011) and the Seattle Pre-School Levy (2014), both expiring in 2018, the City of Seattle looks to renew our commitments and investments to support quality learning that is centered on closing the opportunity gap and expanding access to learning for Seattle's children and their families.
To learn more about what the current levies support, visit the City's Department of Education and Early Learning (DEEL) website: Families and Education Levy and Seattle Pre-School Program
Purpose
