Boise Regional REALTORS® (BRR) has endorsed the Emmett Independent School District’s $20.4 million bond measure, as well as West Ada School District’s $95 million bond and two-year supplemental levy of $14 million.
“REALTORS® don’t just help you buy and sell your home — we actively work to build strong neighborhoods and cities, and an integral part of that is supporting our children’s educational needs as our communities grow,” said Gary Salisbury, 2018 President of Boise Regional REALTORS® and senior sales consultant with Equity Northwest Real Estate. “We have a history of supporting our local school initiatives and we’re proud to stand with families and other local leaders in support of properly funding schools.”
Salisbury added: “The Boise Regional REALTORS® enthusiastically endorse the Emmett Independent and West Ada School Districts in their upcoming bond and levy initiatives and encourage our members and the public to vote ‘Yes’ on March 13th.”
“The Emmett Independent School District bond would fund necessary remodels and repairs to a number of our schools without raising taxes,” added John Evans, BRR Director and associate broker/co-owner of Evans Realty, LLC. “Our community provided valuable input for this bond proposal and is invested in our kids’ education. We feel like this is a win-win, and hope that the bond will pass without difficulty.”
“My kids attend West Ada schools, as do the kids of many of my clients,” said Carey Farmer, Past President of BRR and associate broker with Group One Sotheby’s International Realty. “With four of five West Ada high schools currently at or above capacity, we must pass this bond to continue providing quality educational opportunities and accommodate future growth.”
