The November 3 election asks voters whether to renew PCSD 25’s existing Supplemental Levy for $8.25 million annually for two years. The amount requested remains unchanged from the previous renewal.

A Supplemental Levy is a renewable, voter-approved levy that generates funds Idaho school districts can use to support local operating costs.

No. This is a renewal of PCSD 25’s existing Supplemental Levy, which expires June 30, 2027. PCSD 25’s Supplemental Levy has been community-supported since 1949.

For ballot disclosure purposes, the estimated 2027 levy rate is 0.000956293, or approximately $95.63 annually per $100,000 of taxable assessed value—about $7.97 per month per $100,000 of taxable value.

The estimate is based on taxable assessed value, which is not necessarily the same as a property's market value.

State property tax relief fully offset PCSD 25’s local Supplemental Levy rate in 2025 and 2026. The voter-approved levy remained in place, but no local property tax was collected for this levy during those years.

Future state property tax relief is not guaranteed. The estimated 2027 cost used for ballot disclosure therefore does not assume future state property tax relief.

This is why PCSD 25 is showing both the actual historical levy rates—including the $0 rate in 2025 and 2026—and the estimated 2027 tax impact.

The $95.63 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is an estimate used for ballot disclosure based on current conditions and without assuming future state property tax relief.

Actual future tax impacts may be affected by factors outside the district’s control, including taxable values and state property tax relief.

The proposed annual funding is allocated across six areas:

Classroom Instruction — $4.25 million (51.5%)
Salaries and benefits for teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators and support staff, and maintaining class sizes.

Safe & Well-Maintained Schools — $1.375 million (16.7%)
Daily custodial services, clean classrooms and healthy learning environments.

Teaching & Learning Resources — $1.1 million (13.3%)
Textbooks, classroom supplies, curriculum materials and instructional resources.

Technology & Instructional Support — $750,000 (9.1%)
Instructional software, classroom technology, technology support staff and teacher training.

School Safety — $575,000 (7%)
School Resource Officers (SROs), safety technology and safe school environments.

Learning Beyond the Classroom — $200,000 (2.4%)
Regional academic, athletic, music, CTE and student competition participation, activity advisors and supervision.

Maintenance and upkeep of the PCSD 25 facilities.

Those are funded by the School Plant Facilities Levy which was passed in March 2020.

No. If approved, PCSD 25 would receive the fixed amount authorized by voters—$8.25 million annually—regardless of increases or decreases in property values across Bannock County.

Changes in taxable property values can affect the levy rate, but they do not increase the amount of Supplemental Levy funding authorized for the district.

No. Property taxes support multiple local taxing entities, and the distribution depends on a property's individual tax code area.

The district fact sheet provides examples from three representative tax code areas within PCSD 25 boundaries—Pocatello Code 01, Chubbuck Code 02 and Bannock County Code 33. Across those examples, approximately 10–12 cents of each property-tax dollar goes to School District 25.

Other portions may support cities, Bannock County, roads, ambulance, library, fire, abatement and other local services, depending on the tax code area.

Individual property tax distributions depend on the tax code area where the property is located.

Taxpayers can locate their tax code information through the Bannock County Assessor

PCSD 25 uses Supplemental Levy funding to help bridge the difference between state and federal funding and local operating needs. Nearly 80% of Idaho school districts rely on supplemental levies to operate.

For the 2025–2026 school year, Supplemental Levy funding represented approximately 8% of PCSD 25’s operating costs and supported educational and support services for more than 11,000 learners.

The Supplemental Levy requires a simple majority of votes cast to pass. 50% + 1.
