Lakeland school levy vote is today

RATHDRUM - The Lakeland Joint School District will float two levy proposals to voters today.

The plant facility levy, used to help fund building repairs, buildings, equipment, buses and classroom furniture, is for $905,000 per year for 10 years. A vote of at least 55 percent approval is needed for the measure to pass.
