In a significant move for early education and community support, the City Council has unanimously approved the renewal of the Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise (FEPP) Levy, which will appear on the November 2025 ballot. This renewal package aims to enhance investments in early education, ensuring that children have access to quality preschool programs.
Additionally, the levy will continue to provide essential academic and health supports for K-12 students, addressing various needs that contribute to their overall well-being and academic success. A key feature of the renewed levy is its commitment to universal access to a two-year college degree, making higher education more attainable for all community members.
The decision to advance this levy reflects the Council's dedication to fostering an equitable educational landscape and supporting families in the region. As the voting date approaches, community engagement and awareness will be crucial in determining the future of these vital programs.
