2019 Bond and Levy

Thank you Ephrata, 2019 BonD and LevY Passes

The Ephrata community passed the 2019 Educational Programs & Operations Levy and Bond. We are grateful for your support.

The approved 2019 $27.89 million Bond provides immediate funds for large, long-term capital projects that improve safety, security and other facilities needs.

The Bond is separated into two phases. Phase 1 is defined below. Phase 2 will be reviewed in 2028-2029 when Parkway becomes eligible for state matching funds.

Phase 1

• Builds eight permanent classrooms to replace portables   
• Build new multi-purpose gyms and stages at Columbia Ridge Elementary, Grant Elementary and the Ephrata Middle School
• Enlarges cafeterias at Columbia Ridge Elementary, Grant Elementary, and the Ephrata Middle School
• Remodels offices at Columbia Ridge Elementary and Grant Elementary
• Renovates Performing Arts Center (PAC) and remodels PAC gym
• Replaces the roof at Columbia Ridge Elementary, Grant Elementary, the Ephrata Middle School and Ephrata High School

Bond: Local Cost

Property owners will pay less per year in local taxes for both measures than in 2018 for the levy alone.
