SCHOOL LEVY: Many questions

I have been a school board member in the '70s, and I want to ask a couple of questions. 1. Why are the Coeur d'Alene School District trustees having a levy vote on Aug. 30 in the middle of the summer? And just before Labor Day Weekend? 2. Why is the CDA School District asking for a 10-year levy of $8 million per year for 10 years?

Please explain to the voters of Coeur d'Alene why you picked this day when many of the people are on vacation and possibly aren't able to vote? I'm asking for our Coeur d'Alene Press to publish the average salary of the teachers and then publish the salary of the administrators, superintendent and the principals of Coeur d'Alene School District.
