WATCH: Proposition 1 - Expand, Replace, Build

On February 11, 2025, voters in the Puyallup School District will vote on Proposition 1, an $800M bond measure, that would maintain the current tax rate of $4.14 per $1,000 of assessed property value through a capital levy rollback, meaning homeowners would not face any increase in their property taxes. This would allow the district to address immediate infrastructure needs without an additional tax burden. Proposition 1 would span 21 years, prioritizing expanding high school capacity and replacing outdated elementary schools.

Proposition 1 includes seven major projects:

• Expand Emerald Ridge, Puyallup, and Rogers High Schools to address overcrowding.
• Replace Mt. View, Spinning, and Waller Road Elementary Schools to improve aging facilities.
• Build a new elementary school in the Sunrise Master Plan area to support the district’s projected growth.

If Proposition 1 were to pass, the district would be eligible for up to $152.9 million in state matching funds. This would allow the district to address additional school needs identified by the Bond Advisory Committee (BAC). State matching funds save local taxpayers future improvement costs.
