Balance North Idaho (Balance) today announces endorsement for candidates for the three Coeur d’Alene School District 271’s (SD271)  Board of Trustee seats up for election on May 21.  Balance selected candidates for endorsement after an interview.  Three of the six candidates invited to interview participated: Christa Hazel, Tom Hearn and Dave Eubanks.
