State Superintendent Debbie Critchfield kicked off her Friday in Nampa, where she spoke to more than 230 educators at the Idaho Association for Bilingual Education’s annual conference. She then toured the Nampa-based Idaho Arts Charter School.

Friday afternoon, she headed back to Boise and met with the State Department of Education executive team.

And she finished her busy week at the Boise State University Executive Education Leadership seminar — held at the Statehouse — where she mingled with educators and aspiring administrators.
