Edit: Post Falls trustee betrays district
In a Coeur d’Alene Press editorial, Editor Mike Patrick comments:
With friends like Carol Goodman, Post Falls School District sure doesn’t need enemies. At least nobody can accuse her of harboring a secret agenda. Goodman, who was elected to the Post Falls School Board in 2013, went beyond the normal call of duty by traveling to the state capitol earlier this session as part of the annual school boards association gathering. Good for her. But what she revealed during the Kootenai County legislators’ town hall last Saturday in Post Falls was startling. Goodman said she supports a bill that would take money away from public schools, a bill which “lets the family’s tax dollars follow the child. In other words, that child would get whatever was allocated per student within the state and if you were going to send your child to a parochial school or a private school, that money could go toward tuition”/ Coeur d’Alene Press Editorial Board . More here.
Question: I thoroughly agree with this editorial, that a trustee for the Post Falls School District shouldn’t be lobbying to divert funding to private school options. Thoughts?
