The Idaho Falls School Board is asking patrons to approve a $53 million bond to pay for critical improvements to our schools. The bond would pay to:
Replace four of the district’s oldest elementary schools, Dora Erickson, Edgemont, Ethel Boyes and Longfellow;
Upgrade science facilities at Skyline and Idaho Falls;
Make improvements to Clair E. Gale Junior High School, which will house the new Magnet High School
Upgrade HVAC and electrical systems at Theresa Bunker Elementary School and Emerson High School, which houses the district’s online academy.
The tax impact will be less than $10 a month for a home with a taxable value of $100,000. Even with the bond, D91 patrons will pay less in school taxes than patrons in surrounding school districts.
The election will be on March 13. Polls will be open from 8 am to 8 pm. Questions? Send them to us
