School districts weigh in after North Idaho passes two levies and sinks one by just 33 votes

The margin was smaller than usual, but officials at Coeur d’Alene Public Schools were grateful for solid voter support in Tuesday’s levy election.

“The Board of Trustees is grateful for their continuing support of our public schools,” school board chair Jennifer Brumley said Wednesday after the district won 60% approval for a supplemental levy.

“We thank the voters for extending this critically important funding over the next two years,” Brumley said.

Coeur d’Alene’s levy proposal totaled $40 million over two years, beginning July 1. The estimated annual cost is $145.54 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value.
