Voters have approved the Highline Public Schools Education Levy with 60.31% in favor, according to the second round of election results released Nov. 5, 2025 by King County Elections.

The measure renews local funding that supports classroom and school staff, student safety, and educational programs not fully covered by the state. It will help ensure that all students in the district have access to high-quality instruction, safe learning environments, and the support needed for academic success.

“This is a powerful statement of trust from our voters. It shows that our community believes in our schools and the values that guide our work,” said Superintendent Ivan Duran. “We are deeply grateful to our Highline voters for investing in our students and schools.”

Highline Public Schools serves more than 17,000 students across Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, SeaTac, and White Center.

The levy’s passage reflects ongoing community confidence in the district’s direction and priorities. Polling conducted by the district found that eight in ten residents feel Highline’s goals align with their values, while 96% of staff support the district’s guiding framework known as the Highline Promise.

“Our Highline Promise remains core to who we are and our work,” Duran added. “We will continue building schools where every student belongs, every family feels valued, and every graduate is prepared for the future they choose.”

King County Elections will continue updating results until certification on Nov. 25.
