Idaho Educators Push State Plan For Federal School Funds
Idaho school administrators and educators gathered in Boise to urge that any federal construction funds be administered through a state plan rather than by federal rulings alone. Dr John Booth said future money would likely target building programs, and Idaho may seek January legislation to govern spending if funds become available. The meeting was co hosted by the Idaho Education Association and the State Department of Education. Booth noted Idaho faces growing enrollments and obsolete buildings, with no major construction in 15 years.
