BONNERS FERRY — The Boundary County School District is seeking public input on a possible bond to replace Valley View Elementary as well as a proposed supplemental levy. The board, which met in special session Monday, will be discussing the issues at its June 17 meeting.
BCSD Superintendent Jan Bayer told school board trustees that she is nervous to run both bond and levy at the November 2024 election, due to possible failure of the supplemental levy. She said if the levy fails, the district will not operate as it is right now.
At the May 21 primary election, school districts across the state ran M&O levies (also known as supplemental levies), which failed and have resulted in districts making drastic changes. In Bonner County, voters rejected a $4.68 million West Bonner County School District supplemental levy in May. WBCSD has since announced the closure of Priest River Junior High School and are moving extracurricular activities to a pay-to-play system.
