Trib: Jeers To Sherri

In his weekly Cheers & Jeers column, Opinion Editor Mary Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune gives jeers to — Idaho State Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra: “Talk about blowing it. Earlier this week, Gov. C.L. (Butch) Otter outlined a $101.1 million boost for schools. It’s not nearly enough to cover the losses Otter and lawmakers imposed on education during the Great Recession. But it is a healthy number. What happens next, typically, is the state schools leader presses for more money. Not Ybarra. In a precedent-shattering move, she’s asking for $87.1 million — a full percentage point below Otter’s 7.4 percent increase.” More here.
