The KOOTENAI DISTRICT board met in a levy workshop to review a proposed $1,373,000 supplemental levy intended to fund salaries, special education services, school safety and facility maintenance for the 2026–27 school year. Chair (labeled 'Chair' in the transcript) opened the meeting and the superintendent presented the draft allocations and timing options for running the levy this November.
"We're not gonna make any decisions in this meeting," the Chair said, signaling the session was informational. The superintendent added that legal counsel can draft a resolution if the board agrees with the numbers, and that staff will develop informational outreach for voters similar to prior campaigns. The board discussed running the levy this November under the new election cycle rules and the possibility of re-running in spring if needed; no formal motion or levy vote occurred tonight and a special meeting will be scheduled to consider approval.
