Group Forms To Back Luna Laws

With the three “Students Come First” public school overhaul laws on the November ballot, a group has formed to campaign to keep the laws on the books. “YES! For Idaho Education” filed its paperwork with Secretary of State Ben Ysursa Wednesday. Headed by State Board of Education member Milford Terrell and Idaho Falls school board member Wendy Horman, the group will seek to convince Idahoans to ratify the laws. Critics successfully qualified to place the 2011 education laws on the November ballot. A “yes” vote on the referenda is a vote to retain laws that would revamp the teacher collective bargaining process; establish a school merit pay system; and fund mobile devices for teachers and high school students, while creating an online course requirement for high school graduates/ Kevin Richert , Idaho Statesman.

Question: I will absolutely vote to overturn Superintendent Tom Luna’s so-called education reform. How about you?
