Time to request your absentee ballot
If you are a registered voter and would like an absentee ballot for the March 14 election, now is the time to request your ballot.
It's fast and easy! Just visit this link to submit your 2023 request. Or, you may use the attached request form.
Your absentee ballot will be mailed to you starting the week of Feb. 13. That means you can vote on our two school funding levies less than two weeks from today!
The final day to request an absentee ballot for the upcoming school levy election is March 3. Your request must be received by the county elections office by 5 p.m. that day.
Don't forget: A new absentee ballot request must be made each calendar year. If you voted by absentee ballot last year, you still need to make a new request to vote by absentee ballot this year.
Residency mid-year check-in for Cd'A School District families
In order to make certain all of our students receive appropriate educational support, Coeur d’Alene School District 271 conducts a mid-year residency verification. Residency is defined as where your family sleeps at night. Has your residency changed since September 15, 2022? If yes AND if any of the following statements are true for your family, please contact your school counselor or the Coeur d’Alene School District McKinney-Vento Liaison, James Curb at 208-664-8241 ext. 10061 or jcurb@cdaschools.org for more information about educational services that may be available to your student(s) and family.
We are doubled up with friends, grandparents, or other family due to economic conditions.

We are living in a domestic violence shelter.
