Sisyphus (RE: Dave, you raise a good point regarding the Balkanization of Idaho's education system. We're creating ghettos of impoverished school systems where the poor will have zero opportunity. We're killing the American dream rapidly in those zones.

DFO: Idaho's public education system is OK, if you live in Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls or Lakeland school districts, where patrons routinely pass levies to make up shortfalls in state education funding. If you live in a poor district, like Bonner County or Lapwai, where levies fail, however, your children are getting a second-rate education. The state of Idaho is mandated by the state constitution to provide equal education opportunities to all the state's children. The Idaho Supreme Court underscored that point in a ruling awhile back. And the Supreme Court ruling was ignored by the governor and the Idaho Legislature. What can you do? Thoughts?
