West Bonner County District reviews FY26–27 budget options and levy proposal
Summary
At a Feb. 27 work session the West Bonner County District reviewed budget options for FY26 and FY27 and heard a levy proposal; staff tied proposed spending to the district's five‑year strategic plan and discussed how teacher training and extracurricular costs fit into funding scenarios.
On Feb. 27, 2025, the WEST BONNER COUNTY DISTRICT board held a work session at Priest River Elementary to review budget options for fiscal years FY26 and FY27 and to consider a levy proposal ahead of a May 20 levy decision. Presenters Debra Buttrey and Belynda Best provided the board with budget information and outlined levy options intended to support district priorities.
Principal Lynn Parker described alignment between the levy options and the district's five‑year strategic plan, citing teacher‑training initiatives such as Quantum Learning and professional learning communities (PLCs) as investments the district is weighing. Superintendent Spacek noted that some career‑and‑technical‑education (CTE) clubs function as co‑curricular programs funded by the State, a distinction the board flagged as relevant when deciding which costs belong in the levy versus the operating budget. The meeting minutes record the session beginning at 5:00 PM and adjourning at 6:29 PM.
