Post your thoughts on education reform
BOISE – Public comments on the State Board of Education’s proposed new online class graduation requirement – requiring every Idaho high school student to take two online courses to graduate – are being accepted through Wednesday. The new rule was widely panned at a series of seven public hearings around the state, but the state board gave it initial approval anyway on Sept. 9; the public comment period precedes the board’s final vote Nov. 3. To submit comments, go to the state board’s website at boardofed.idaho.gov, and click on the box on the right that says, “Online Graduation Credit Requirement.”
