Dorn Asks AG Ferguson for an Opinion on Local Levies
State Superintendent Randy Dorn's letter to Attorney General Bob Ferguson. The letter is much more in the weeds than the press release below. Dorn ends the letter saying (partial): In the meantime, many school districts have already begun the process of planning future levies. Without clarity on this question, school districts cannot adequately plan how they intend to deliver - or pay for - basic education services. Given the longstanding - and ongoing - legal uncertainly regarding school districts' authority to use local levy funding to pay district personnel for basic education services, I believe it is essential that your response to this request be expedited.
