"From Small Beginnings Come Great Things"

Levy Fact Sheet

By

Election is May 18, 2021

The state of Idaho continues to under-fund education, leaving schools without the needed funds to meet educational requirements. This Levy replaces last year’s, this is not an additional Levy and supplements our income to maintain our current operations and covers the state’s shortfall

for basic operation, special education, advanced placement courses, extra-curricular activities such as BPA, athletics, and much more. This Levy will show on your December 2020-2021 tax assessment bills.

A Letter from the Superintendent

By

P-EBT parent letter

Dear Parent/Guardian,

I am writing this letter to let you know that none of our schools qualify for the “Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer(P-EBT)”.  P-EBT is part of the U.S. government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and was established by the Families First Coronavirus Act (FFCRA). P-EBT provides benefits to children that would have received free or reduced-price school meals, if not for COVID-related school closures and/or COVID-related reductions in school hours or attendance. You will not be eligible for this benefit due to our schools being in person and open all year.

Sincerely,

Jim Doramus
