MY TURN: Why does the Post Falls School District need a voter-approved levy?

The Idaho funding system changed in 2006, leaving K-12 public schools with gaps in basic funding. Since the change, Post Falls School District has filled these gaps with a voted levy, which must be renewed every two years. On March 14th, Post Falls voters will see a question on the ballot for a “supplemental levy” renewal. The word “supplemental” comes from Idaho code and can lead to confusion regarding what these funds really mean to the Post Falls School District. These funds are not supplemental in the budgetary sense; they are to maintain basic operations of Post Falls schools.
