Bonner County School Board weighs Farmin addition use
At a Tuesday meeting Superintendent Likens asked for direction to amend last August’s plan designating Farmin School additions for seventh and eighth grades only. The board allowed study of alternatives and plans to revisit Sandpoint schools next week. A proposed land lease near Sandpoint High could expand school property, potentially replacing the seed orchard later.

Inverted Pay Plan Endorsed by Boise Finance Panel
A 9-7 vote by the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee approved a bill for 1.6 million in inverted pay raises for state workers. The plan prioritizes higher boosts for lower earners, with a 22 percent rise for those earning 11,340 or less by July 1. The proposal costs 1 million less than a flat-raise option and could free funds for tax relief.
