SCHOOL BOND ELECTION. Tomorrow is election day. Patrons have the opportunity to vote on the proposed bond to update Ashton Elementary, South Fremont High School, and North Fremont JH/HS. See the District website for full details or call the District Office (208-624-7542).
UPDATED BOND INFORMATION. During the community information meetings on the bond proposal, patrons asked the school district to post the updated municipal bond interest rates just prior to the bond election on March 14. Zion's Public Finance, Inc. sent an updated graph showing the interest rate trends for the past year from March 1, 2022 through March 7, 2023. They also included a slide showing a comparison between the interest rates from January (3.73%) and March 8 (3.83%). It shows how the change in rates would impact the overall tax impact per $100,000 of taxable value. This slide also shows the impact should the interest rate be 1% higher or 1% lower. As a reminder, the final interest rate if the bond is approved in March would not be locked in until the end of May.
Thank you to all who have reached out to ask questions and learn more. These new slides and all other official information regarding the bond can be found on the district website (https://www.sd215.net/o/sd215/page/2023-bond-election). If you have any additional questions, please contact one of the Board members or the District Office.

The 2022-2023 school year has been so much fun for the Junior High Library. So far, 6th graders are in the lead for most books checked-out but 7th graders are catching up! Students are enjoying the Christmas season with fun children's Christmas books and helping decorate the library.
The best Christmas present for our library was being awarded a grant from the Idaho Education Technology Association (IETA) to add to our technology/makerspace area for student's use. We are so grateful to be selected and are excited for the projects the grant allows us to pursue. Thank you IETA!
