The election results were certified FINAL yesterday. Both levies ended up passing with greater than a 60% supermajority, even though only a simple majority was required! Congratulations and THANKS again to all who helped!

M&O Levy:          61.05% YES
Technology Levy:   60.79% YES

This election also had great voter participation - 8991 people voted, nearly 43% of registered voters. That's very high turnout for a special election - and WAY beyond King County's pre-election forecast of 33%. It shows that our Snoqualmie Valley communities care about quality education!

Fellow volunteers -- as I hope you know by now, both levies rang in at over 59.5% approval last night -- well over the 50% majority requirement to pass!

Looking back, your help was incredibly vital to getting this done. From those initial meetings months ago, to more recent planning sessions, to captains e-mailing, recruiting and spreading the word, to over 100 volunteers at our mailing night, to more than 50 different callers through our phone banks, to countless others e-mailing, discussing, working hard, I have to say a huge thanks.

I have also attached a letter from Joel Aune, also expressing his, the staff, the Board's, and the students' appreciation for all you have done. Feels really good, doesn't it?

THANKS, 
Cliff Brown, VVFE Chairman

Initial returns from King County Elections show that both of our school levies are passing:

M&O Levy:  59.59% YES
Tech Levy:  59.94% YES

Both levies require a 50% simple majority vote to pass.  At this point, it looks like both levies are passing with nearly 60% YES vote. THANKS to all of our fantastic volunteers who helped with this campaign!

Monday Night (Feb 8) Session Cancelled.
We're happy to report that we finished all of our planned voter reminder phone calls last Thursday night, so we have cancelled the last session originally scheduled for Monday, Feb 8. Special thanks to those who had signed up to volunteer on Monday night - we appreciate your willingness to help! If you know someone who may have been considering helping on Monday, please let them know this session is cancelled. Thanks!

Please share with your friends: we put together a little video that tries to be entertaining, while highlighting just how important it is to Vote YES to Renew our School Levies!
