The Idaho Education Network, a broadband network that links Idaho high schools, is coming in for much praise from Gov. Butch Otter in his State of the State message. Already, he said, school districts are using the network for innovative programs. The Bonneville school district and the Vallivue district in Caldwell are "rolling out a virtual school option for students, and several other districts are heading that direction," Otter said. "It's a tremendous resource."
