CDA School District approves early dismissal

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- Students in the Coeur d'Alene School District will have an early dismissal starting next year.

On Monday evening, the CDA school board approved a plan to dismiss students two hours earlier on Fridays, starting in the 2024-2025 school year.

The decision is part of a larger attempt at reducing the district's $6 million budget deficit.

During the meeting, the board also approved a plan to redistribute students from the soon-to-be-closed Borah Elementary.

In April, the school district decided to close Borah Elementary in hopes of saving nearly $1 million.

The students from Borah will be redistributed to the following schools:

• Bryan Elementary - 114 Borah students
• Ramsey Elementary - 79 Borah students
• Fernan Elementary - 36 Borah students
• Dalton Elementary - 8 Borah Students
• Winton Elementary - 4 Borah Students
