PASSED! All Three School Tax Measures
The Kootenai County Elections Department has announced the following results with over 96% of the total votes counted:
- The Coeur d'Alene School District #271 has passed it's bond measure with 71.64% of the vote. The district needed 66.66% to succeed.
- The Lakeland School District has passed it's SPFL with 60.52% of the vote. Lakeland needed 55% to succeed.
- The Kootenai Joint School District #274 passed it's bond measure with 76.06% of the vote. The district needed 66.66% to succeed.
Lakeland's vote followed a failed levy attempt last spring. Both CdA SD#271 and Kootenai Joint #274 needed 66 and two-thirds approval (a super majority) to pass their bonds. In this economy, are you surprised at the success for all three districts?
