MY TURN: 'Supplemental' levy?

Public schools are the foundation of our nation’s democracy. Article IX Section 1 of the Idaho Constitution requires the state to “establish and maintain a general, uniform, and thorough system of public, free, common schools.” So why then are most districts in our state reliant on local property tax dollars for a portion of operational costs? The answer is simple: Idaho’s funding formula is antiquated and does not begin to meet the costs of educating children in the 21st century.
