Add Gov. Butch Otter to the roster of Republicans criticizing the controversial high school WiFi contract signed last week by GOP state superintendent Tom Luna. “It’s not necessarily how I would have done it,” Otter said in a prepared statement Monday afternoon, five days after Luna announced the contract with Education Networks of America. The contract to install WiFi in Idaho high schools is funded for 2013-14 with a $2.25 million budget line item, approved by the Legislature and signed by Otter. But the contract will run for at least five years. And the state has options to extend the contract to 15 years — at a total value of $33.3 million. Some key legislators have questioned the deal, saying they did not realize Luna envisioned a multiyear contract/Kevin Richert, The EDge, IdahoED News. More here.

Question: Do you think Republican leaders are getting tired of Superintendent Luna's schtick, too?
