Dear Editor,
Please vote yes on the upcoming replacement supplemental levy for Lake Pend Oreille School District. Because the state does not adequately financially support our local educational process, it is necessary to come back to the voters rather regularly to request supplemental levies.
Requested is $8,300,000 in 2018 and $8,700,000 in 2019 for a total of $17,000,000 beginning July 1, 2017, and ending June 30, 2019.
This two-year levy will be used for staff funding, student achievement and student activities. The school district has excellent and easily understandable information on their website at LPOSD.org.
I encourage you to take a look at the factual information, register to vote if you aren’t already, and Vote yes on March 14 for the supplemental levy.

While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
