Whitefish School District levy to support new staff, staff salaries and expanded programs

The Whitefish School District is asking voters to consider a general fund levy in the amount of $108,337 to support staffing levels for a growing student body and to help fund increases in teacher and staff salaries.

Staffing increases will help maintain proper class size ratios and academic offerings, including core classes, career and technical education, and advanced placement.

The estimated tax impact of the levy is $5.88 per year for a home with a taxable value of $600,000.

Ballots were mailed to all active voters on April 18. They must be received by 8:00 p.m. on May 7, either by return mail or by dropping them off at the Whitefish School District Office located at 600 East 2nd St. For questions, please call (406) 862-8640.
