To the Editor
There are many reasons to support the school
Maintenance and Operations levy that is coming
up for a vote on March 10. The most important is
that the levy is an absolute necessity for our
schools.
With the loss of Forest funds and less money
from the state to run our schools, the levy is
more important than ever.
Another often overlooked fact and reason that
our community should support the levy is that it
is more affordable than ever to do so. In 2005,
the Idaho legislature removed funding for
schools from your property. Property owners now
only pay for building construction and any
supplemental levy that they as voters approve.
The result is that with the passage of this
school levy, property owners will pay less tax
for schools in 2015 than they did in 2005.
Please be an informed voter and support your
schools on Tuesday March 10.
