Kelso School District is closed Monday, March 16, through Friday, April 24, under direction from Governor Inslee to slow the spread of COVID-19. Information on picking up belongings, student medications, childcare, meals, graduation, and more will follow soon.
So thankful for the tremendous support for our schools, staff, and, most importantly, for Kelso kids.
Voters approved the levy that will restore, sustain, and enhance essential educational programs, maintenance, and more. Thank you!

Levy fact #10: Levy dollars are used to pay for staff, programs, services, and materials not fully funded by the state. #StrongSchoolsStrongerCommunity
The local replacement levy is used to restore, sustain, and enhance curriculum, technology, staffing, and other program costs that the state does not fund.
The replacement levy on the February ballot takes the place of the existing levy expiring this year, it is not a new tax. Even with the passage of the replacement levy, school funding tax rates will still be lower than they were in 2017 - 2019.
All buses are on normal routes this afternoon.
Every school district in Cowlitz Co will have a levy on the Feb 11 ballot. Here's why:
