Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Kootenai and St. Maries school district voters will decide Tuesday whether they will continue providing local property tax support for the funding and maintenance of their public school systems.

Trustees in each of the four districts are asking voters to approve supplemental levy proposals that require more than 50 percent approval for successful passage.

Here's a look at the levy proposals:

COEUR d'ALENE

Coeur d'Alene school district voters will be asked to approve a two-year supplemental levy of $14.3 million in the first year and $12.9 million the second year.

If approved, the levy will provide $25.8 million for school district operations and maintenance over the course of two years, and in the first year, an additional $1.4 million for increased building safety and security.

Those security enhancements will raise taxes for one year only. The owner of a $200,000 home will see a $24.80 tax increase in the first year of the levy. The second year, it will drop back down to the current tax rate of $1.87 per $1,000 of taxable assessed property value.

The bulk of the levy funds, the $12.9 million per year for two years, will replace an expiring levy approved by voters in 2011. Those levy dollars pay for basic education needs no longer supported by state and federal funds; student transportation; the existing school resource officers, not including any new SROs proposed to be added; crossing guards, classroom and playground aides; additional support for high-achieving and struggling learners; computer hardware and software; and maintenance and repair of schools and district buildings.

The levy represents 22 percent of the district's general fund budget. The levy rate of $1.87 per $1,000 of taxable assessed property value is among the lowest in the state.

POST FALLS

Post Falls' proposal is $4,255,000 per year for two years.

If the levy passes, residents' school district taxes won't be raised because of a retiring bond debt for Prairie View Elementary.

If the levy fails, it would reduce taxes by $47 a year for a home with $100,000 of taxable value.

Even if the levy passes, Post Falls would still be among the lowest districts in the state when it comes to using supplemental funds per student. That amount would be $747, whereas most districts are in the $1,000 to $2,000 range.

The proposal represents the current supplemental levy approved by voters in 2011 for $2.615 million per year for two years, plus an additional $1.6 million per year for two years.

The district believes the levy is critical since the state has reduced its appropriation to Post Falls School District by more than $3.2 million since 2009, going from $26.5 million to $23.3 million.

The district reduced its expenditures across the board by $1.5 in response.

The proposal includes $40,000 per year to add a third school resource officer.

KOOTENAI

The levy amount going before voters in the Kootenai School District is $1.2 million per year for two years.

Funds would supports student transportation, curriculum updates, staff retention, technology infrastructure and maintenance.

District officials say the funding would help compensate for expired federal stimulus funds and state funding reductions. The levy will not pay for any new programs.

If approved, the levy would replace a supplemental levy of $647,000 a year for two years that will expire June 30.

Annual property taxes would increase by 97 cents per $1,000 of assessed value if the proposal passes. For the owner of a $150,000 home, that equates to about $12 per month.

ST. MARIES

St. Maries voters will consider a two-year, $1.84 million supplemental levy.

If approved, it would cost the owner of a $100,000 home with a homeowner's exemption $41 per year.

If approved, the levy would replace the current $1.617 million supplemental levy that is about to expire.

The supplemental levy accounts for 26 percent of the district's General Fund budget.

To lessen the amount of funding needed for next year's budget, the school board reduced $204,300 in expenditures from the budget.
