Tech School Levy Election In Works

Item: Tech school levy in works: School boards expected to mull plan in May; vote would be in August /Brian Walker, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: A tentative levy proposal by three local school districts to fund a professional-technical school on the Rathdrum Prairie has surfaced after months of talks. The Post Falls, Lakeland and Coeur d’Alene school boards are expected next month to consider authorizing a two-year plant facility levy for a 50,000-square-foot building estimated to cost $9.5 million. The school would expand professional-technical opportunities for area students. If the school boards decide to move forward with a levy, the three districts would hold separate elections in August. Fifty-five percent voter approval would be needed in each district for the measures to pass.
