Cascade School District passed both levies thanks to YOU, our community! With the funds that come to the district through voter-approved levies, we can continue offering our students the programs and services they need. THANK YOU!
On the ballot, the Cascade School District is proposing two
replacement levies to voters to replace current levies set to expire in
December 2025. These levies are not new taxes but a continuation of the
existing levies approved by voters in 2021. The renewal of these levies will
not increase the overall tax rate and will continue to support vital programs
and services for students.
Please remember to vote by February 11. Learn more about how levy dollars are
making a difference in our community on our website:

Ballots for the Cascade School District levies are due February 11.

Cascade School District Saves Taxpayers $1.5 Million in Bond Refinancing
Leavenworth – On February 4, 2025, Cascade School District No. 228 successfully refinanced its 2015 Bonds through a $16.4 million bond sale. This refinancing will save taxpayers $1.54 million over the next 10 years by reducing the district’s debt.
The District was able to achieve these savings by issuing the new bonds at an average interest rate of 3.15%, down from the previous rate of 4.68%. This was made possible by the district’s careful monitoring of bond market conditions and the approval of the refunding bonds by the Board on November 25, 2024.
The district’s top “A1” credit rating that was recently reinstated from Moody’s helped attract investors, reducing borrowing costs. Additionally, participation in the Washington State School District Credit Enhancement Program, which offers repayment security, further lowered the cost. Superintendent Dr. Tracey Edou said, “Our team worked hard to minimize costs and reduce the tax burden on our community. These savings will help offset future taxes for our residents.”
EP&O Levy Facts: Our athletics and extra-curricular activities are
funded by levy dollars! This support includes funding for all sports and
activities, covering up to 71 coaching and advising positions, as well as
transportation and equipment based on student participation.
