Coeur d’Alene school trustees made the unprecedented decision Monday evening to close one of their 11 elementary schools due to a hefty shortfall in the 2025 budget.

The new charter school campus near Bonners Ferry has a long history of helping kids connect with the outdoors. North Idaho Classical Academy plans to open in 2025 using Barney Charter School Initiative curriculum, a Hillsdale College outreach program. The campus was previously an outdoor school then treatment center for teenagers.

For years, educators have watched as students learning English, including immigrants and refugees, have struggled to take the state’s high-stakes literacy assessment.

Coeur d’Alene schools will retain a regular five-day school calendar next year but add two hours of teacher collaboration time on Fridays.
