Royal School District voters will decide next month on passing a two-year $2.74 million Educational Programs and Operations replacement levy. District officials say the proposed levy is not an additional tax and would replace the district’s expiring levy approved by voters in 2018. Levy funds are used to maintain educational programs in Royal schools not fully funded by the state, including smaller classroom staffing, extra-curricular activities and athletics, counselors and nurses along with other programs. The special election is set for Feb. 11.
