Technology Task Force Meeting Today

State schools Superintendent Tom Luna has opened the first meeting of his “Students Come First” Technology Task Force this morning with a speech calling on Idaho to become a “global leader” in education, saying, “Our economic competition is global and it’s focused and it’s fierce and unrelenting.”  He said, “The fact is that everyone in the world wants our jobs, and for the first time ever they have the means to take them.” Jobs will go “where the educated workforce is,” he said. “Intellectual capacity is the currency of the 21st century, and other countries have figured this out.”  Read more from Eye on Boise plus a link to live coverage here .  Tomorrow, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise will speak to the task force.

Anyone believe that this Task Force will be able to help offer solutions for Idaho to become a “global leader” in education?
