Neah-Kah-Nie School District Levy Presentation

Dr. Tyler Reed, Superintendent of Neah-Kah-Nie School District, presented a detailed update on the district's financial challenges and the upcoming levy ballot measure. The district, which spans from Manzanita to Bay City, relies heavily on timber revenue, local property taxes, and state and federal grants. However, it does not qualify for the state school fund due to high property values and significant timberland within its boundaries. Dr. Reed explained that declining timber revenue has resulted in a $2.7 million deficit, threatening the potential loss of 20.5 teaching positions. To address this, the district is proposing a levy to raise approximately $2 million annually, which would help maintain current staffing and programs. The levy would replace an expiring bond and increase the tax rate by 25 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. Dr. Reed emphasized the importance of community support to continue providing quality education and programs.
