School tours offered at Flathead

School tours will be offered at Flathead High School from 8:30 to noon Saturday.

Principal Peter Fusaro scheduled the tours before the school election May 8 so the public could get history on the building and see key areas where maintenance is needed.

Flathead High School is one of many high school district building sites that need repairs.

Tour times are 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., 9 to 10 a.m., 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., 10 to 11 a.m., 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to noon. Meet at the main office entrance to the school.

In the election, the school district is asking taxpayers to approve a $4,127,915 high school building reserve. Some of that money would be used for repairs to Flathead High.

If the building reserve levy is approved, the cost to taxpayers would be $10.20 a year on a home with an assessed value of $100,000, or $20.41 on a $200,000 home.

A building reserve and technology levy is specifically for facility maintenance and repair and improvements in educational technology in the high school district.

This is a high-school levy, which means voters in elementary districts whose students attend Flathead or Glacier high schools have a say in the levy’s passage.
