Laurie Boeckel of the Idaho PTA told the Senate Education Committee, "Idaho PTA ... objects to mandates being determined by the state Board of Education, consists of political appointees ... who are not able to be held accountable by the public." She said, "This legislation erodes meaningful parent involvement. ... PTA opposes increasing classroom sizes. ... After historic cuts to public education, Idaho PTA objects to additional mandates outlined in the bill to local districts."
