Voters in two Pierce County school districts are deciding the fates of funding requests in a special election.

Voting ends Feb. 11, the dates when ballots must be deposited in official ballot boxes or mailed to the county elections department.

Puyallup School District is asking for bonds to replace aging school buildings and enhance safety and reduce overcrowding in certain schools. Passage of the measure requires a 60 percent majority of votes.

Yelm Community Schools is seeking approval (with a simple majority)  of a levy for educational programs and district operations. The district covers parts of Thurston County, where voters are also helping decide the levy’s outcome.

Information on their respective ballot measures is available from the school districts. Information about the election, including questions about ballots, is available from the county at 253-798-8683 and elections@piercecountywa.gov.
