Idaho Education Association meet draws Boise turnout
About 350 teachers from Idaho school districts plan to attend a one day Idaho Education Association gathering in Boise to press for more state funding. Delegates will discuss a proposed 16 million dollar increase with some districts closing schools and Gov Andrus expected to speak. Two resolutions may call for withholding services if the 6.5 million minimum is not met by August 15 and for a veto plus a special legislative session to fund education.
