COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — A resident who has lived in Coeur d'Alene for 50 years was one of nearly 20 to speak Tuesday during a special meeting of the Coeur d'Alene School District board of trustees.
"All six of my kids went to Coeur d'Alene District 271, and they turned out fabulous because of their schools," Nyleen Livingston said. "They were all able to get into colleges that they preferred and five out of six graduated. We have to support this school district, and it takes money. We've got to pass that levy."
The board held a special listening session to hear possible solutions from community members as it prepares to declare a financial emergency, per Idaho Code, in light of the March 14 supplemental levy failure.
"We know that there's a lot of topics of interest right now for the district," board Chair Rebecca Smith said. "Tonight's meeting is to just consider solutions for our financial situation."
Livingston said it's important to encourage people who are in favor of the levy to get out to vote.
