Ellsworth Exceed Revenue Limits (2008)

Jump to: navigation, search

The Ellsworth Exceed Revenue Limits referendum was a school bond issue on the November 4 ballot in the School District of Ellsworth, which is in Pierce County. The purpose of the referendum was to exceed the state-set revenue cap in the amount of $900,000 per year over the next five years (totaling $4,500,000 overall), with funds going to the school budget. It is not known what the additional funds would be directed toward.

A bond measure aiming to raise $5,700,000 for the district failed in April 2008 - see Ellsworth Community Exceed Revenue Limit (2008). The earlier measure was also vague about what use the funds would be put to.
