After helping to pass its Capital Levy in 2020, Port Angeles School District reached out again for help with phase two of their long-term facilities plan: passing a bond (along with an EP&O levy renewal). By emphasizing the community-led nature of the long-term facilities plan, we were able to help communicate the need to voters. Both initiatives passed by over 60%, and the bond was one of only 4 to pass out of 14 bond measures run in the November 2024 election.
