LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood School District Board of Directors is considering two important propositions for next February’s ballot.
Proposition one would renew the current maintenance and operations levy, which represents approximately 20 percent of the district’s total operating budget.
Proposition two would be a capital levy to pay for critical repairs at some of its schools, by replacing failing roofs and electrical, heating and ventilation systems, as well as to continue funding the district’s investment in technology, to support student learning and address pre-planning for a future modernization of its high school.
To that end, the district has scheduled a School Finances and Information Fair on Oct. 4, for the community to learn more about these two proposed ballot measures.

I like to keep an eye out for the dirt-cheap bookings my condo association offers for last-minute cancellations. So when one popped up at Whistler we tossed some things into a bag and headed north. North took us past that vacant stretch of developers’ dreams between I-5 and Old 99 where leveled and staked FOR SALE acreages sit like empty tables in a restaurant at 4 p.m.
