On November 3, West Branch voters will see a Permanent Improvement Levy on the ballot. Before then, we want every resident to have the facts.

This is a 1-mill levy for five years, generating about $440,000 a year for roofs, buses, HVAC systems, and safety upgrades. The cost is roughly $2.92 a month per $100,000 of property value.

Our full FAQ covers what's on the ballot, what PI funds can and can't pay for, and why the district is asking now: https://tinyurl.com/WestBranchPILevy2026

Questions are welcome — Contact Superintendent Matthew Manley at [email protected].

Camp Invention a BIG success!

From August 3–8, 37 young Warriors (grades 1–5) dove into hands-on STEM learning at Camp Invention! Along with exploring science and tech, campers built lasting friendships and teamwork skills. A huge thank you to our teacher leads, Andrew McCarty and Cheryl Libb, for sparking creativity, and to our amazing student volunteers—Victoria Jones, Aubrey Burkey, and Maddison Van Kirk—for making every day unforgettable!
