Learn about 黑料正能量
We believe public education is a true public good that transforms lives and creates a more just and inclusive society making it an indispensable cornerstone of our American democratic republic.聽Together, we defend the teaching profession and believe public education is strengthened when educators are respected for their contributions to our state and its families.
The best argument for public education in Idaho is the good, simple truth of what happens in our members’ classrooms each and every day.

Recent news headlines are telling: Idaho鈥檚 Legislature chose tax cuts for the wealthy and private school vouchers over investing in the schools our kids rely on.
Now, the state is facing a $56 million budget deficit鈥攁fter lawmakers cut more than $450 million in revenue last session and voted to pay $50 million for vouchers. Meanwhile, students with disabilities still can鈥檛 access parts of their schools, and most districts received only enough funding to make minimal repairs.
This isn鈥檛 a surprise鈥攊t鈥檚 the predictable result of years of misplaced priorities. Idaho families deserve a Legislature that funds strong, safe, and equitable public schools鈥攏ot one that undermines them.
Because every child deserves a great public school in their community.
Because May 2026 Matters.
