ast week, high school students in Spokane returned to in-person classes, marking the first time in a year that Spokane Public Schools students of all ages had a real live teacher in front of them. It wasn t a moment of celebration for everyone, however.

She says students on that list will be enrolled in the virtual school within the next couple weeks.

COEUR D ALENE, Idaho A levy for the Coeur d Alene School District to give local schools $40 million in property taxes over the next two years is leading late Tuesday night.
With roughly two-thirds of precincts reporting, Kootenai County results showed voters supporting the measure with 59.76 percent of the vote.
The levy funds district operations and maintenance, to the amount of $145.54 per $100,000 of assessed taxable value, per year. Although the amount brought in is the same as the existing levy, the tax rate people will pay will decrease thanks to an influx of people moving into the district and rising property values.
Supporters and opponents are trying to get their message out ahead of the March 9 special election. Author: Casey Decker Updated: 7:23 AM PST March 9, 2021
