Dear Kellogg School District Patrons and Staff,
We are writing to express our deepest gratitude to the entire KSD community. Last night, our two-year, $7 million replacement supplemental levy passed with 66.17% of the vote (1596 votes in favor to 816 against).
This result comes six months after our levy fell short in November, an outcome that forced our district to face the incredibly difficult reality of planning for deep cuts to our staff, sports, and academic programs.
As Board Chair Alexa Griffin shared following the results: “The relief, joy, and appreciation felt by me and probably many in the district is not dramatic or exaggerated. The employees, students, and supporters know how much this levy means to our district. We can now plan our next school year with confidence and know we are doing everything in our power to give the kids the best experience and education we can. Many people put in hard work to advocate and educate for the levy, and no amount of gratitude will ever be enough.”
When this levy takes effect this July, it will secure the baseline funding needed to keep our schools safe and staffed for the next two school years. The work continues at the district level to identify cost-saving measures that allow for the best use of our supplemental levy dollars.
To the volunteers who spent their evenings educating neighbors, the staff who kept their focus on our students during months of uncertainty, and the voters who made their voices heard at the polls, thank you. You chose to invest directly in the future of our kids, and we are incredibly honored to serve this community.
With immense gratitude,
The Kellogg School District Board of Trustees and Administration

It takes a village, and our district has the best one around. When the 3A State Softball Tournament was left scrambling due to flooded fields in North Idaho, Aaron Miller and our maintenance crew, along with an army of Kellogg volunteers, turned things around in record time to host the games.
Please take a moment to read this letter of appreciation from Scott Miller. Our community's teamwork and school spirit were on full display!

ICYMI: Understanding Your Property Tax & the School Levy
As we head into the final days before the May 19th election, we want to reshare one of our most important financial graphics. Property taxes are a frequent topic of conversation, and it’s important to look at the historical data for the Kellogg School District.
In Case You Missed It:
There is a common misconception that school tax rates only go up. However, as the attached chart shows, the school district’s tax rate has actually decreased significantly over the last several years, even as property values in the Silver Valley have risen.
How is this possible?
Due to changes in state legislation and the way the tax burden is distributed across a growing total property value base (the "taxable market value"), the actual cost per $1,000 of home value has trended downward.
Our goal is to ensure you have an accurate picture of how your investment in our schools translates to your tax bill.

ICYMI: The Future of Our Marine Corps JROTC
As we move toward the May 19th election, we are resharing this important look at one of the rarest programs in our state: the Kellogg High School Marine Corps JROTC.
In case you missed it, this video highlights a key fact regarding the program’s federal charter. Because the Marine Corps only authorizes a limited number of JROTC units nationwide, a loss of local funding doesn't just mean a "pause"—it means the charter is reallocated to another state, and the program cannot be replaced.
The MCJROTC is currently a 50/50 partnership between the U.S. Marine Corps and our local supplemental levy. Watch the clip below to see why this 50-year tradition is such a unique part of the Wildcat experience.

ICYMI: A Message from the "Voice of the Wildcats"
As we approach the May 19th election, we’re looking back at some of our community’s favorite moments from this spring.
In case you missed it, Steve Shepperd—longtime announcer and a familiar voice to any Wildcat fan—recently shared his perspective on why extracurricular activities and athletics are so vital to our district. These programs aren't just about the scoreboard; they are about teaching our students teamwork, leadership, and resilience.
These opportunities are supported in part by our local supplemental levy. Watch Steve’s message again to see why these programs are such a valued part of the Wildcat experience!

ICYMI: The Facts on Full-Day Kindergarten 🎒✏️
We had a fantastic turnout for Kindergarten Registration at Canyon Elementary on May 8th, and we can’t wait to meet our future Pinehurst Elementary students this coming Friday, May 15th!
As these new families join our district, we want to reshare some important information regarding how our Kindergarten program is structured.
Did you know?
While the state of Idaho only provides funding for half-day Kindergarten, the Kellogg School District has long prioritized a full-day program. We believe this extra time is vital for building foundational literacy, math, and social skills.
Currently, the second half of the school day is made possible through our local supplemental levy. As we approach the May 19th election, we want to ensure our community understands how these funds directly support our youngest learners.
