Dear Selkirk Families & Community Members,

On February 10, 2026, the Selkirk School District will place a renewal 3-year EP&O levy measure on the ballot for voters to consider (2027-2029). EP&O levies pay for programs that the state does not fully fund or fund at all such as extra-curricular, nursing, technology, food service, maintenance, etc. Selkirk School District has been fortunate to have received community support for EP&O levies for over 40 years and the current levy expires at the end of 2026. All three school districts in the county (Selkirk, Cusick, Newport) will be requesting renewal of their EP&O levies on the February ballot to share ballot expenses.

In accordance with RCW 29A.32.280, the district is seeking parents and community members interested in participating on a committee of up to three (3) district residents either in argument for or argument against the district’s upcoming EP&O levy measure. If you are interested in serving on either committee, please contact Superintendent Nancy Lotze (nlotze@selkirkschools.org or 509-446-2951) by noon on November 19, 2025.

Each for/against statement may be up to 250 words for the main statement. Rebuttals from each side may be up to 75 words and these statements appear in the Local Voters’ Pamphlet published by the county elections office. Contact information for the committees may be listed in the Local Voters’ Pamphlet.

The Play's the thing! Next Friday and Saturday, November 14 & 15, the Selkirk Theater Arts group will perform our fall productions at the Cutter Theatre. At 6:30pm, we will present Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Middle School (but were too busy being stuffed into a locker to ask), a comedy about the perils and pitfalls of life in middle school. This performance will last about 30 minutes, and is appropriate for all ages. At 7:30, we will perform 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse: The Musical, a hilarious musical comedy about a group of survivors trying, and mostly failing, to survive the end of the world filled with the walking dead. This is a more funny than scary play, appropriate for older children (or those not easily scared) through adults, and will last about 1 hour. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for students. One admission gets you into both shows. Come out and support the 33 students, grades 6-12, who have worked hard to make these shows happen!
