Kent School District (KSD) will hold three community meetings about the Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy on the November 3, 2026, ballot. At the meetings, district staff will explain the levy, what it would pay for, and answer questions.

The EP&O Levy renews local funding for educational programs, services, and staff that the state does not fully pay for. Local levy funding makes up about 15% of the school district's general funding.

The meetings are scheduled for:
