CSB OKs $450K Emergency Levy

An increase in the number of students attending Coeur d’Alene public schools this fall prompted the school board Thursday night to approve an emergency tax levy of $450,000. Daily attendance averaged 10,173 this week, up from 10,046 in the first three days last year. The district’s K-12 enrollment is 10,337. The board voted unanimously for the one-time levy, which property owners will see on their tax statements in December and next June. The levy rate may come in at 6.9 cents per $1,000 of taxable property. Such emergency levies are allowed without voter approval. The money will be used to hire more teachers and classroom aides and buy curriculum materials, Superintendent Matthew Handelman said/SR. More here.

Question: Any problems with unanimous School Board vote?
