Growth is a hot topic in Kootenai County, but it's not being seen in attendance numbers in the county's public schools. The Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Lakeland Joint school districts will not pursue emergency levies again this year. At the start of each school year, K-12 districts have the option under state law of exercising elective taxing authority, without voter approval, for property tax relief when more students show up than expected. The money covers the cost of educating additional students not yet included in state funding and not budgeted for.
