Moscow school trustees have placed a facility levy on the November ballot as part of a long-term plan to modernize the district’s aging infrastructure, particularly its high school building, which is approaching 90 years old.
The proposed seven-year levy would generate $9.37 million annually, totaling $65.6 million if voters approve it. The district’s modernization strategy unfolds in phases: the first phase would convert the existing middle school into a new high school facility, while a second phase—contingent on a separate future ballot measure—would fund construction of a replacement middle school.
The overall facility improvement plan spans roughly a decade, addressing what district officials view as critical capacity and condition issues in structures that have served Moscow students for generations. The high school, in particular, requires substantial upgrades to meet contemporary educational standards and enrollment demands.
Moscow voters will decide the levy’s fate in November. School officials have framed the measure as essential to the district’s ability to serve students effectively over the coming years without relying on temporary or piecemeal fixes to aging facilities.
What Comes Next
Voters will cast ballots on the facility levy in November 2026. If approved, the levy would begin funding the first phase of the district’s modernization plan. District officials are expected to outline specific timelines and construction schedules closer to the election.
