Boeckel: “Idaho PTA objects”

Laurie Boeckel of the Idaho PTA told the Senate Education Committee, “Idaho PTA … objects to mandates being determined by the state Board of Education, consists of political appointees … who are not able to be held accountable by the public.” She said, “This legislation erodes meaningful parent involvement. … PTA opposes increasing classroom sizes. … After historic cuts to public education, Idaho PTA objects to additional mandates outlined in the bill to local districts.”
