Idaho state Sen. John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, said he supports the new recommendation for two online courses for high school graduation, down from state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna's original proposal of eight. “It wasn't eight for very long,” Goedde said, noting, “Then it went to four.” He said, “Understand we're talking about a graduation requirement, so that's a minimum. … Lots of students … may take 10 or more”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.
