Population growth in Post Falls was putting pressure on its schools a decade ago, but officials held off asking voters for help when the economy soured and was slow to rebound. “It’s time,” Superintendent Jerry Keane said. “We delayed it as long as we can.” The Post Falls School District has a $19.5 million bond measure on the March 10 ballot to build a new school and expand or upgrade others. The district also is asking voters to renew its two-year supplemental levy to collect up to $4.7 million a year for school operations. If approved, the measures would not increase taxes because other construction debt is about to be paid off and some is being refinanced, the district said/ Scott Maben , SR. More here .
