A request for a $3 million-per-year, five-year plant facilities levy will be on the May 19 ballot for voters in the Lakeland Joint School District. If approved, the funds will support facility improvements, safety upgrades and maintenance at the district's 11 schools in the Rathdrum, Athol, Spirit Lake, Garwood and Twin Lakes communities. "As a superintendent, I never want to run a levy unless I absolutely have to," Superintendent Rusty Taylor said Monday. "My team has made it very clear to me that we have to because we have needs around the district."
