A four-day school week, closing an elementary school, larger class sizes, staff cuts and building budget reductions are among options Coeur d’Alene School District officials will be weighing as they work to right-size a projected $6 million shortfall in the district’s 2025 operating budget.
The loss of the Coeur d'Alene School District's March levies heavily weighed on the minds of those who are tasked with looking at future endeavors during a Monday meeting of the district's long-range planning committee.
Stefany Bales has been hired as the Coeur d'Alene School District's new director of community relations.
Bales will replace Scott Maben, who served as the district's communications director for the past six years.
The school plant facilities levy would have provided the school district with an additional $8 million per year over 10 years to support safety and maintenance.
