Salmon School District 291 officials have to go back to the drawing board following the failure to pass Tuesday’s school bond proposal, which would have built a new school for 650 students .
Teton School District Superintendent Monte Woolstenhulme announced at tonight's school board meeting that ICRIMP will cover the remaining $300,000 of the missing school bond funds lost through an email scam in December.
Nine school districts in the Post Register’s coverage area, including Salmon School District 291, Idaho Falls School District 91 and Fremont County Joint School District 215, are looking to pass bond and/or levy measures Tuesday.
At Timberline High School, Allie Cannon hit five 3-pointers and scored a game-high 21 points to help propel the Blackfoot girls basketball team to a 64-51 win over Mountain Home and a berth in today’s 4A state consolation championship game.
