Dozens of school services and programs and hundreds of jobs are at risk of elimination at the Bethel School District in Pierce County as district residents vote on a $50 million levy at Tuesday's special election. FOX13
renewals fund computers, iPads, and non-core education programs including sports, band and the arts.
"It’s time for all of us to make a stand. Everybody needs to go out and vote for the levy so it can pass and we can get these things done the proper and the right way," said Terri Sligh, a grandparent in the district. Superintendent Tom Seigel said the district is home to the Class 4A football state champions. The team went on to win a bowl game in Las Vegas. But even champions are at risk of program cuts.
"People need to understand that if you’re in a school district with a reputation where the local community will not support kids by not supporting a levy, first of all who are you going to get to come work here?" said Seigel.
