Late on February 23, the Chelan County Elections office certified the recent Lake Chelan
School District ballot measures for the Operations (EPO) Levy #1 and the Capital
Technical Levy #2 by more than 65 percent of the total ballots cast.
This is considered a landslide. I also say it’s a tremendous vote of confidence in the Lake
Chelan School District, our students, staff, and faculty as well as District Superintendent Brad
Wilson. He’s been on the job for little more than one year and has already established a clear
plan for increasing the learning capabilities for all students.
With the understanding that approximately 40 percent of the district’s student enrollment is
comprised of English language learners and speak another language at home, the difficulty
in ramping up test scores since the COVID-19 lockdown is more difficult than ever.
Superintendent Wilson set in motion a plan to lift all student achievement and inspire
community involvement. Now, the funds will be available to allow students to reach their potential through quality instructional programs, staff support, and the technical equipment they need to Achieve, Believe, and Contribute.
On behalf of the levy campaign committee, let me say thank you to the voters. Indeed, you
made the right decision to “Fill the gap.”
