Voters pass school bond

A $32.7 million bond measure to renovate some of the oldest schools in the Coeur d’Alene School District was embraced by voters tonight.

The measure, which requires a two-thirds supermajority to pass, received 71 percent yes votes.

“I’m very, very excited that this looks like it’s going to pass,” Superintendent Hazel Bauman said.

Elsewhere in Kootenai County, a Lakeland Joint School District maintenance levy easily passed, while the Kootenai Joint School District saw voters approve its $2 million bond measure to upgrade its wastewater system. More here. Scott Maben, SR
