Last month in the Magic Valley, we witnessed a prime example of how systemness can make educational opportunities available to people throughout our state.

The college going rate dramatically improves when applied to students who enroll within three years of graduating from high school.

I think it is important that I share with parents and taxpayers three important goals the State Board is working on with local trustees and the school administrators who oversee our school districts and charter schools.

Students and their families are making financial sacrifices to attend Idaho public institutions.

“It’s been known for a long time that there is college-level training going on in the military …”

Idaho policymakers have done a lot over the last five years to raise teacher pay.

This is an innovative approach to provide access to affordable college opportunities beginning in the seventh grade. 

The program is built around multiple assessments that take into account different learning styles and work values that also helps students decide what they want to do. 

Public education in Idaho works because it is a system-wide approach that is holistic, efficient and effective.

If Idaho is to meet workforce needs, we have to find ways to encourage more male students to emulate what most of their female classmates are doing.
