Luna Defends May 13 Warning Salvo
Item: Complaints of alleged politicking by Idaho educators released: Luna says 25 calls and emails prompted his May 13 warning that teachers could be fired for ethical misconduct /Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman
More Info: Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna fielded complaints about educators pressuring students to fight his “Students Come First” plan and using school district email accounts to inform parents they opposed the plan. In response to a public records request, Luna also reported complaints of people using school resources to back a failed levy in Meridian and campaign for a school trustee in Coeur d’Alene.
Question: Do you think Luna had to be pushed very hard to send out that memo warning teachers of dire consequences should they be caught politicking on school property?
