Starting the new year right
Happy New Year!
Our professional development time on Wednesday was well spent as our teams leaned into learning more about topics ranging from literacy, math, AVID, safety & more. We appreciate these days without students present and this time for our team to get better together.
This first month of the calendar year will bring schedule changes for the secondary, end of quarter and semester. Please check with your child's school for details.
Wednesday, we also delivered two automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to each school to have on hand should it be needed. Cardiac events are rare but when they occur AEDs can help save lives. We received these thanks to a grant.
On March 14, Kuna School District voters will consider a $111.4 million bond to pay for Phase 1 of a 10-year plan to reduce overcrowding in the district's schools by adding more classroom spaces.
Specifically, the bond would provide funding for:
Bus Annex - Part 1
Maintenance needs
✨ If approved, the tax rate would not increase.
✨ The tax rate is expected to drop as the district will not ask for a new of our supplemental levy.
More voter information for March 14
