State funding gap / Special Education Shortfall: Idaho districts continue to face gaps between the cost of services and state/federal funding. A March legislative Office of Performance Evaluations report (and coverage since) identified an ~$82.2 million shortfall for special education and broader K-12 funding pressures; the state also ranks low in per-pupil spending compared with other states. District supplemental levies are commonly used to fill local gaps for services not fully funded by the state. (IEA)
Enrollment trends: Kimberly SD enrollment has grown modestly in recent years — Idaho Report Card shows Kimberly enrollment rising from ~1,844 (2021) to about 2,152 (school year 2024–25), a sustained increase that supports the need in increased transportation, technology costs, programs, and services as student counts rise.
Technology: Devices purchased five years ago are reaching end of usable life and no longer meet instructional/testing requirements, so replacements are necessary to maintain student access to technology.

The demands on school infrastructure increases due to aging buildings and inflation, this ensures that facilities remain safe and conducive for student learning.
