After a two-year, $12 million dollar supplemental levy failed in November, the Nampa School District board of trustees voted Tuesday to put a larger two-year supplemental levy of nearly $13 million on the ballot in March.
In the Nov. 5 election, the $12 million levy, which needed a simple majority to pass, failed by just 10 votes.
The Idaho Press reports, the new levy will be on the ballot at the March 10 election, and still needs a simple majority to pass.
The district says, without the levy revenue, budget cuts would be necessary, and they will have to delay existing maintenance needs, pause the update of safety and security tools, increase class sizes, and forego preschool expansion plans or reduce all-day kindergarten options, along with several other consequences.
