Ybarra Mum On Special Session

State superintendent Sherri Ybarra is not saying whether she supports a special legislative session to resolve Idaho’s child-support crisis. The 2015 Legislature adjourned hours after a House committee tabled Senate Bill 1067 — a bill to bring Idaho’s child support enforcement system in line with a 2007 international treaty. The failure to pass the bill jeopardizes about $50 million in federal funding and 100 jobs. Perhaps more importantly, the decision jeopardizes the state’s ability to use several federal tools to collect child support payments, undermining the state’s enforcement of some 155,000 active child support cases/ Kevin Richert , IDEDNews.org.

Question: Is Ybarra wise not to take a stand on this issue?
