Cheney Schools Tax Vote Explained | Spokane News

Cheney voters face two critical school tax votes in November that could actually lower their bill—yes, you read that right. Both are three-year renewals: one for daily school operations (covering safety, arts, athletics, and special ed) and another for building and tech upgrades (like HVAC, plumbing, and student devices). If both pass, the tax rate drops from $3.93 to $3.90 per $1,000 of home value. The operations levy funds nearly $57 million, making up 16% of the district’s budget last year, while the smaller capital levy brings in $4.1 million for essential infrastructure. Even with a new elementary school bond, there’s still work to be done. Your vote could mean better schools—and a slightly lighter tax burden.
