Riverview Schools Committee

08/04/2026

As wildfire smoke continues to affect air quality across Washington, we have once again been reminded of what makes the Riverview School District community so unique. When outdoor activities became unsafe, local cities, nonprofit organizations, churches and Riverview School District came together to find solutions that prioritized the health and well-being of children and families.

Riverview School District is grateful to have the gyms, facilities and indoor spaces that were opened in support of community programs, allowing youth activities and summer camps to continue safely when outdoor conditions made that impossible. Moments like these remind us that schools are more than places for learning. They are community gathering places that bring people together and strengthen our community during challenging times.

Thank you to our community partners for your collaboration and commitment to serving children and families. We are proud to be part of a community that comes together when it matters most.

📊 Election Results Update – February 10 Special Election

The February 10 Special Election results were officially certified on February 20.

In Riverview School District:

🗳 7,147 ballots were counted
📈 42.64% voter turnout – the highest turnout in King County for this election.

Riverview voters considered three measures:

• ✅ Proposition 1 – Educational Programs & Operations Levy
Passed with 60.35% approval
(Simple majority required)

• ✅ Proposition 2 – Technology & Capital Projects Levy
Passed with 59.57% approval
(Simple majority required)

Both levies saw a substantial increase in support compared to the 2022 election and will continue providing critical local funding for programs, staff, technology, and services that go beyond what the state funds as basic education.

• ❌ Proposition 3 – Capital Bond
Received 54.66% approval
(60% supermajority required)

While a majority of voters supported the bond, it did not meet the 60% threshold required for passage. The district is currently evaluating next steps and is considering conducting a community survey to better understand the factors behind the outcome and gather feedback moving forward.

🙏 Thank You, Riverview Community

Thank you to every voter who took the time to participate. A 42.64% turnout reflects a deeply engaged community that cares about its schools.

Thank you as well to the many volunteers who supported the Riverview Schools Committee — from sign waving and hosting conversations to delivering yard signs and sharing information. Community engagement makes our district stronger.

Most importantly, thank you to those who participated in respectful discussions, asked thoughtful questions, and stayed engaged throughout the process. Civil discourse is what helps communities grow.

Riverview has a long history of showing up for its students — and that continued engagement matters.
