Help With Souper Bowl
The student government organizations at Idaho Falls and Skyline high schools are teaming up this year for the annual "Souper Bowl" canned food drive. The students hope to collect at total of 121,212 cans, about 20,000 more cans than last year. If you'd like to help, drop off canned food at the high school offices between 8 am and 4:30 pm.

Bond Election Set For March 13

The Idaho Falls School Board is asking patrons to approve a $53 million bond to pay for critical improvements to our schools. For more information, see the FAQs.

The election will be on March 13. Polls will be open from 8 am to 8 pm.  The bond would pay to:

• Replace four of the district’s oldest elementary schools: Dora Erickson, Edgemont, Ethel Boyes and Longfellow;
• Upgrade science facilities at Skyline and Idaho Falls;
• Make planned upgrades to Clair E. Gale Junior High School's HVAC system, electrical system and classrooms;
• Update the electrical system at Theresa Bunker Elementary School, as well as address safety concerns such as adding doors to classrooms and improving the student pick-up/drop-off areas;
• Update the electrical and HVAC systems at Emerson High School, which houses the district’s online academy

The tax impact will be less than $10 a month for a home with a taxable value of $100,000. Even with the bond, D91 patrons will pay less in school taxes than patrons in surrounding school districts. Questions? Send them to us
