IEA Eyes Possible Referendum Drive

A committee of parents and representatives of the Idaho Education Association today took initial steps toward a campaign to repeal Senate Bills 1108 and 1110, two recently enacted pieces of Superintendent Tom Luna’s controversial education package. “We’re in the exploratory phase, and no final decisions have been made. But we filed initial paperwork with the Secretary of State in order to start the process and preserve our options to refer these bad laws for a citizens’ veto,” said Sherri Wood, President of the Idaho Education Association. “In the coming weeks, educators plan to talk with and listen to parents, business people, community leaders and other concerned Idahoans before deciding whether to proceed with a signature drive and referendum campaign”/ Idaho Education Association news release.

Question (for those opposed to Tom Luna “reform”): Would you rather see a recall attempt against Luna or an intiative drive to overthrow the entire education reform package?
