COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — Multiple factors helped tank the Coeur d'Alene School District's levy Tuesday at the polls, including an opposition campaign by the local Republican party, reports our partners from the Coeur d'Alene Press. The school plant facilities levy, if passed by voters, would have provided the school district with an additional $8 million per year over 10 years to support safety and maintenance needs in school buildings. It required a 55% supermajority to pass, but received just 50.
