Evergreen Public Schools’ operations levy was passing after additional ballots were counted Wednesday, while results for other Clark County school funding propositions from Tuesday’s election remained largely unchanged.

Now, both of Evergreen’s levies are passing. The operations levy, which was trailing as of Tuesday, now has 13,956 “yes” votes, or 51.64 percent. The technology levy, which was leading as of Tuesday, continued to gain and now has 14,293 “yes” votes (52.91 percent).

The operations levy would replace a three-year levy approved by voters in 2022 and raise a total of about $288.9 million over four years. Taxpayers are expected to pay a range from $2.02 to $2.35 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

The technology levy, which would raise a total of about $50.5 million over four years, replaces a six-year levy approved by voters in 2019. The new levy rates range from 36 cents to 40 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

Funding measures in Battle Ground and Hockinson failed but passed in Vancouver, Ridgefield and Mount Pleasant school districts.

The next ballot count is 4 p.m. Thursday.
