CdA schools to ask voters for $68M

Voters in Coeur d’Alene will be asked to approve a $35.5 million bond measure and a $32 million operating levy in March.

Due to increasing property values, tax rates would not increase if both the bond and levy are approved. The rate is currently $2.31 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

The Coeur d’Alene school board voted 4-1 in favor of the bond last week; the board approved the operating levy in December.

“The No. 1 need has to do with growth,” said district Superintendent Matthew Handelman. “Our district has been growing”/ Eli Francovich , SR. More here.
