BONNER COUNTY, Idaho — The West Bonner County School District will be running a replacement supplemental levy.
The measure, which will be on the ballot on Tuesday, May 16, must pass with a 51% voter approval. The proposed levy amount is $4.7 million per year for two years which is roughly 33% of our annual operating budget. This will replace the current levy ending June 30, 2023, Susie Luckey, interim WBCSD superintendent, said.
Renewal funding per year for two years is for:
• Athletics, co-curricular and extracurricular activities;
• School resource officer;
• Competitive salaries for teachers and support staff (bus drivers, paraprofessionals, custodians and other support staff);
• Textbooks, learning materials and staff training;
• Safety and security facility improvements;
• Bus purchase;
The estimated annual cost for this levy is $ 115.95 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, Luckey said.
