PAYETTE â Even as COVID-19 has put its familiesâ budgets under strain, the Payette School District Board of Trustees found itself dealing with the strain of preparing to renew the districtâs supplemental levy at its Dec. 14 regular meeting.Â
According to Board Clerk Barbara Choate, the levy to be submitted to voters has the same language as the previous one from 2018.
âI know [Trustee Candita] Strong visited with former levy committee members, and it was their recommendation that the dollar amount not be raised at this point in time,â said Choate. âThe perception of a struggling economy is great at this time and the sentiment of the committee was that  to increase that amount would pretty much secure failure of the resolution.â
