School District 25 levy rate stays at zero for second straight year
POCATELLO — For the second straight year, state property tax relief will fully cancel out the local property tax rate for Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25’s supplemental levy, bringing that rate to zero in 2026. The district received $10,789,319 in state property tax relief this year, about $665,000 more than last year. That funding covers the entire $8.25 million supplemental levy and leaves additional relief that further lowers the district’s overall local property tax collections. A zero rate does not mean the levy itself has disappeared. The $8.25 million annual levy remains in effect and goes before voters for renewal Nov. 3. It has had community support since 1949. District officials estimate that after applying the state relief, the amount levied locally in 2026 will fall to about $4.5 million, down from roughly $5.19 million in 2025. The district’s overall levy rate is projected to drop from 0.000581891 in 2025 to 0.000516820 in 2026. District officials relayed that how much of an individual property owner’s tax bill will go to the district won’t be known until December. “We appreciate the Legislature’s continued investment in property tax relief for Idahoans,” Superintendent Douglas Howell said. “For the second consecutive year, this funding provides

ISU nursing program to celebrate 70 years of caring for Idaho during celebration later this month
POCATELLO — Idaho State University's nursing program is celebrating 70 years of providing critical training to nursing students later this month. The celebration will be held Saturday, Sept. 26, where the School of Nursing will recognize its past accomplishments while embracing the future, according to a news release from ISU. The original nursing class of 1956 only had seven students. This year, there are more than 5,000 nursing alumni across graduate and undergraduate levels. The nursing program currently enrolls 90 traditional and 100 accelerated students each year. There was a time when nurses were not allowed to take a patient's blood pressure or use a stethoscope. Now, nurses perform a variety of specialized care and are at the forefront of patient care. Teresa J. Stanfill, executive director of the Idaho Center for Nursing, said in the news release that ISU has been a cornerstone of nursing education in the state of Idaho for 70 years. She said one of the program's greatest strengths is its ability to adapt to the changing needs of health care organizations.
