This February, the Ephrata School District will have an Education Programs and Operations levy on the ballot. The levy helps the district pay for a variety of things including athletics and extracurricular activities. If the levy passes, the district will receive around $24.7 from both the levy and local effort assistance, state funding for districts with relatively lower property values.
