Five districts in north central Idaho to run levies in March election

Five school districts in north central Idaho have placed levy measures on the March 9 ballot.

The money from the levies will support the general operation and maintenance of school buildings. All of the levies are replacement measures that would go into effect July 1.

Today is the last day voters can pre-register for the election. Prospective voters must have lived within the county and school district for 30 days before the election. If a person’s name or address has changed since the last election, they are required to reregister.
