Did you know?
KSD has operated with an unchanged levy amount since 2018.
For over 30 years, our community has supported a supplemental levy to keep our schools running.
Renewing this levy isn't about "new" spending—it’s about maintaining what we have in the face of exponential cost increases for basic necessities like heat and competitive wages for our staff.
By voting on May 19th, you are helping us bridge the gap left by declining outside funding. Local Schools. Local Decision.

This prestigious award is a testament to Scott’s unwavering dedication to the students, coaches, and families of the Kellogg School District. Managing a comprehensive activities program is no small feat, and Scott consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our programs are run with integrity, passion, and a "students-first" mentality. Whether he is coordinating complex schedules, mentoring our coaching staff, or cheering from the sidelines on a rainy Tuesday night, Scott’s commitment to the Wildcat spirit is evident in everything he does.
Being recognized by his peers across the state of Idaho is a distinct honor that reflects the high standard of excellence he has set for our district.

The numbers speak for themselves:
KSD spends $12,367 per pupil
This is below the state average of $13,020.
It is significantly lower than neighboring districts like Mullan ($31,596) and Wallace ($14,158).
Spending less doesn't mean doing less—it means budgeting smarter. By directing resources where they matter most (classrooms and teachers), we ensure our students get an well-rounded education while keeping costs down for our community.
The replacement levy allows us to maintain this efficiency.

This "Average Daily Attendance" (ADA) model creates a significant funding gap for the Kellogg School District. Even though our enrollment stays steady, regular absences (due to illness, etc.) meant the state only funded 91.78% of our students last year.
The Reality of the Gap:
KSD loses an average of $5,496 every single day in state support.
That adds up to a total loss of $802,458 annually.
The Replacement Levy isn't just "extra" money—it is the bridge that fills this $800k+ gap to ensure every student we have enrolled gets the resources they need, regardless of the state's funding formulas.

Steve Shepperd, longtime public address announcer for Kellogg High School, recently shared his perspective on the role athletics and extracurricular activities play in the Kellogg School District.
These programs, supported in part by our local levy, provide vital opportunities for students to build teamwork and leadership skills.

When we talk about the May 19th Replacement Levy, we aren't just talking about budgets—we’re talking about the daily experiences of our students.
The KSD Replacement Levy covers 30% of our operating costs that the state and federal government simply don’t fund.
This includes the "basics" like heat, electricity, and fuel, but it also funds the programs and people that make Kellogg Schools special:
Essential Staff: 12 Teachers, 2 Administrators, and over 50 support staff members (bus drivers, cooks, and aides).
Student Programs: Full-Day Kindergarten, JROTC, Foreign Languages, and Career Technical Programs.
The Extras: Sports, extracurricular activities, and elementary Music & PE.
This is a local decision for our local schools. Let’s keep these programs thriving for our kids.

It’s been a minute since our last update, but our students have returned from spring break ready to work.
We know the nice weather is calling, but there is no better place to be than in the classroom.
Let's keep this momentum going all the way to summer! ☀️💜
As we approach the vote on May 19th, it’s important to look at the facts behind the numbers. While property values in our area have risen, the actual amount taxpayers pay to the Kellogg School District has decreased significantly since 2018.
Key Takeaways from the Data:
Lower Rates: The actual levy rate per $100k has dropped from $468 in 2018 to an anticipated $195 for 2026.
Debt Free: The KSD Bond was officially paid off in November 2025, meaning $0 in bond debt for taxpayers moving forward.
Property Tax Relief: Thanks to estimated state relief funds, we anticipate a further reduction in the levy rate to help offset the proposed 2026-2028 funding.
The proposed levy ensures our schools remain operational and maintained while keeping the tax impact manageable for our homeowners.
Please vote May 19th!
