Coeur d’Alene School District Superintendent Matt Handelman left no doubt Wednesday evening that Coeur d’Alene’s kids are very much above average. “I get to kick things off and do a little — I call it a little — bragging about the great things that our students are doing thanks to our great teaching staff,” he said. “You’re going to see some data that shows that we are sometimes head and shoulders above our peers in the state and even those around the country.” About 70 people attended the third annual State of the District Forum in the Community Room of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library/ Devin Heilman , Coeur d’Alene Press.

Question: Do you agree with the superintendent’s assessment, that the Coeur d’Alene School District is in good shape?
