Madelynn Ruhter knows what makes her French classes at Capital High School special: the people.
It’s not just her students but the community that supports Ruhter, from her own high school French teacher to mentors, colleagues and local French speakers.

A bit more explanation here- the ballots were counted by a tabulation machine, which is not connected to the internet.
The results are supposed to be transferred to the statewide reporting system in batches.
An initial review showed the additional ballots do not change the outcomes of any races, according to a news release from the secretary of state’s office.

Some were not transferred to the statewide system, so these ballots were already COUNTED, but the results weren't reported on election night.
That's how the clerk's office can say it likely won't affect the outcome of any races.

Vallivue's plant facility levy was soundly rejected Tuesday, with 53% of voters opposed.
This comes after:

- Canyon County Commissioners stepping in to appoint a trustee

State Superintendent Debbie Critchfield seems to have anticipated the drop- she hosted a summit on school readiness last week.
