Community Message from Superintendent Nelson

I hope this letter finds you well. It is with a heavy heart that we share some difficult news with you. Today, a number of our valued teachers impacting 8 individuals, received notification that their contracts with the La Conner School District for the 2023-2024 academic year will not be renewed or will be reduced.

2023 Tax Assessment Correction - Property Tax Statement Missing 2022 Information

Public school districts in Skagit County are reeling after a line item from the 2022 tax assessment was missed, making it appear as though there was a significant increase from year to year. According to a press release from the Skagit County Treasurer’s Office, the mistake was due to a software glitch. “The comparison for residents’ tax distribution from 2022 to 2023 does not include a second line item for local school districts,” according to the release. “The line items for school districts were combined in 2023 giving the appearance of a larger increase than the actual increase.” The missing line item has resulted in a large number of residents contacting their local districts with concerns.

If you are looking for a flexible part-time job working around kids, we want to talk with you!
