FAQ: Supplemental Levy
Q: Are levy funds used to build new school facilities?
A: No. New facilities are funded through restricted state funds and donations, which cannot be used for daily operations.
Q: Did the turf field take funding away from other priorities?
A: No. The turf field was funded by a private donor, not taxpayer dollars.
Q: Can the district charge developers to help offset growth costs?
A: No. Idaho law does not allow school districts to charge impact fees to developers.
Q: Is the district expanding into other cities?
A: No. District boundaries have not changed. Growth in nearby cities has increased enrollment within existing boundaries.
Q: Would removing out-of-district students save money?
A: No. State law requires districts to accept students if capacity allows.
Q: Does the district control property tax increases?
A: No. Property taxes are based on home values and multiple taxing entities, not just the school district.
