In less than a month, voters inside the Coeur d’Alene School District will be asked to renew the district’s current two-year, $25 million levy. As elected members of the district’s board of trustees, we believe investing in education is one of the most important things we can do for our community. Whether you vote absentee or in person, we encourage you to go to the end of the ballot where the levy renewal question is. Together, we ask you to remember renewing the levy isn’t just about funding; it shapes the future of our children and the values we hold as a community. Over the past several weeks, the board has heard from and talked with folks about the replacement levy. We’d like to answer a few of the questions that continue to come up.
