About this levy

Bellingham School District's Enrichment Levy (formerly Maintenance & Operations, or M&O) is a voter-approved property-tax measure supplementing state basic-education funding for staff, programs, and operations. Following the 2018 McCleary decision, Washington capped Enrichment levies at the lower of $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed value or a state-set per-pupil amount.

Methodology note

Pre-2019 records show this levy as "M & O"; 2019 and after, as "Enrichment." Real Record uses "Enrichment" canonically and treats the renamed levy as a continuation of the same program.
