LEVY: Vote yes for Cd’A schools

| October 14, 2026 1:00 AM

As a kid in Coeur d’Alene, I graduated from Lake City High School before attending college and law school. My wife, Jamie, is also a Coeur d’Alene public schools graduate. Our children have attended Bryan Elementary, Canfield, and CHS. Jamie and I now own Kootenai Law Group in Coeur d’Alene, and we’ve seen what our schools give this community. That’s why I’m asking my neighbors to vote yes on the replacement school levy on Nov. 3.

This isn’t a new tax. It replaces the levy voters approved in 2024, which expires next June, and Coeur d’Alene has relied on voter-approved levies since 1986. State funding doesn’t cover the full cost of our schools. The levy funds about a quarter of the district’s operating budget, including teachers, support staff, nurses, safety officers, AP classes, electives, athletics, and music. It’s also crucial to keeping K-Tech open.
