Borah Elementary School's days are numbered.

Tears were wiped from faces and sniffles could be heard Monday evening as trustees of the Coeur d'Alene School District unanimously voted to accept a recommendation to repurpose the school as a way to save the district money as it addresses an expected $6 million shortfall for fiscal year 2025.

"We're heartbroken, obviously," fifth grade teacher Teresa Armstrong, who is in her 16th year at Borah, said after the meeting.
