A dozen Idaho school districts wrestling with growth have approved emergency property tax levies adding up to $10.1 million statewide, Idaho Education News reports. Emergency levies run for just one year, to help schools handle unexpected additional students, and don’t require voter approval. This year’s total is up from $9.1 million last year, $8.7 million in 2015-16 and $6.4 million in 2014-15, writes EdNews reporter Kevin Richert.

Three perennial growth hotspots – West Ada, Twin Falls, and Bonneville – account for more than $8 million of this year’s emergency levies, Richert reports, but there are levies in every part of the state, from Lakeland to Teton County. You can read his full report here.
