A quick look at what’s on the ballot this election day
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - It s election day for taxing districts across the state. Only a handful of issues are on the ballot.
The Bonneville School District 93 is hoping voters will approve the renewals of their supplemental levy and plant facilities levy. The two levies denied in March when the district tried to increase the levies. This time they are asking voters to renew the levy rate they currently have. The Supplemental Levy is $5.8 million and the Facilities Levy is $2.8 million.
Voters in Zone 3 of the Idaho Falls School District 91 will be deciding if to recall their school board trustee Lara Hill. Petitioners say Hill voted for the hybrid schedule instead of in-person learning which they believe parents wanted.

Editor’s note: This story is part of an EdNews series on influential education leaders and figures across Idaho.
Halli Stone watched the student protests and anti-war sentiment of the 1960s as a young girl growing up near Washington State University.
The changing times clashed with her conservative Mormon upbringing. Still, she marveled at the “dichotomy of political beliefs in our country.”
Stone has clung to her conservative roots through the years. The 5-foot, 1-inch grandmother of 15 is a longtime activist, opposing issues from abortion to the Equal Rights Amendment.
But another issue dominates her golden years: fighting increases to local property taxes. Today, Stone has been an unyielding voice in shutting out millions upon millions of dollars in local funding requests from the Bonneville School District, where she lives.
