KALISPELL — The Kalispell School Board has approved a high school levy request for voters to decide on during a special district election on May 6, 2025.
If approved, the levy request would generate approximately $2.9 million in funding to fully fund the high school district’s general fund.
Kalispell School District Superintendent Matt Jensen recently told MTN News that 21 full-time positions will be cut from the school district if the levy fails.
Kalispell voters have not passed a high school district levy since 2007.
A home with a taxable value of $447,000 would see annual taxes increase by approximately $73.80 a year if the high school levy request is approved.
Jensen said Kalispell Public Schools currently receives the lowest amount of local funding on a per-student basis compared to every other AA high school district in Montana.
