Kuna to vote Tuesday on renewing $2.5 million school district levy
Kuna School District residents will vote Tuesday to renew a $2.5 million-per-year levy that it has authorized the for the last two years to pay for additional teachers, technology and school building maintenance.
Idaho law requires that supplemental levies like this one be renewed every two years. The school district has said that the funds will pay for 20 teachers to relieve overcrowded classrooms. The money would also replace English and science textbooks, add school resource officers, pay for Chromebooks for students, and add auto-body repair, diesel mechanics and agricultural classes.
The levy requires a simple majority to pass. Property owners would continue to pay $500 per $100,000 of taxable value in for all school property taxes. That’s more than the levy rate that residents in the West Ada School District approved last year: $377 of taxable value.
As of Monday afternoon, the Ada County Board of Elections had received 41 mail-in ballots and 286 people casting early votes.
