Levies share GOPrez primary date

Three North Idaho school districts hope voters of all stripes head to the polls Tuesday, the day Republicans in the state hold their presidential primary. All three districts have a lot riding on Tuesday’s ballot, with school funding measures that account for 20 to 40 percent of their operating budgets. But with such high interest in the presidential race, voter turnout will be heavily conservative for the tax measures. “It will be a challenge on Tuesday, no doubt. But I’m confident folks know our reputation and respect that we’ve always been frugal about how we do business,” Lakeland School District Superintendent Brad Murray said Thursday/ Scott Maben , SR.
