New Schools Built Without Tax Hikes | Boise News

Two new schools in Boise and Star areas are breaking ground—Freedom Elementary in Middleton and a rebuild of Lake Hazel Elementary in West Ada—without raising property taxes. Funded entirely through state money, including over $11 million from the Public School Facilities Cooperative Fund and significant support from House Bill 521, these projects will open in 2027 and 2028, finally ending years of temporary classrooms. Lawmakers like House Speaker Mike Moyle praise this as a sustainable model, offering districts a way to build without burdening local taxpayers—a crucial move as communities feel financial strain. With construction timelines as tight as ten months, this approach is reshaping how schools get built across the state.
