State tax dollars provide approximately 65 percent of the funds needed for school operations. Local property taxes supply 21 percent and federal funds comprise the remaining 14 percent. Because local taxpayers desire to provide a better education for students than is allowed by local property tax limitations, the district has operated for several years with a supplemental levy. This levy provides additional funds to improve education and to attract quality teachers. Voters approved a Plant Facilities Reserve Levy in 1988 which provided funding for new schools in Malta, Oakley and Burley.
Major improvements continue to be made in existing facilities.
The School Board consists of five trustees elected for staggered three year terms. The public is invited to attend.
