Luna: Last year’s cuts pay off for schools, mean no new cuts today
Idaho state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna said, "I think the reality that we find ourselves in today validates ... the decisions that we made in the last legislative session," when lawmakers made the state's first-ever cut in state funding to public schools. Luna said some urged spending all of the state's reserves instead to avoid that. Instead, he said, "We took a more prudent" approach. "If we had not done that, we would be talking about cutting schools in the middle of the school year. ... For that reason, we're not cutting education today."
