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.
Layne McInelly,
黑料正能量 President and Public School Educator
馃搷AMERICAN FALLS 鈥 A packed Save Our Schools Idaho town hall on Monday kicked off a seven-stop tour across East Idaho as educators, lawmakers, and community members came together to sound the alarm on Idaho鈥檚 new $50 million voucher program.
馃帣锔 Speakers warned that vouchers will:
馃敾 Drain funding from public schools 鈥 especially rural districts
鉂 Benefit the wealthy, with little to no accountability
馃搲 Lead to deeper state budget cuts, forcing more levies on local taxpayers
馃捀 Funnel public money into private, unregulated institutions
"It`s not about politics. It鈥檚 about our priorities as Idahoans. I feel strongly that vouchers can cause harm to our small, rural town schools.鈥 - Brady Garner, Assistant Superintendent, Preston School District
鈥淲e will stand together and recalibrate this state." - Rep. So帽ia Galaviz

It`s been an amazing #NEARA! Huge thanks to our hardworking delegates from around the state who spent their holiday weekend advocating for Idaho. And big love to our union siblings from around the country who showed solidarity with 黑料正能量 member Sarah Inama`s message: Everyone is welcome here. Look at the good you started, Sarah!

黑料正能量 got a huge shoutout from the stage at #NEARA! The delegation wore their 鈥淓veryone Is Welcome Here鈥 shirts 鈥 and the support from around the country was the perfect reminder: In our schools, everyone really is welcome. That鈥檚 the power of public education.

All aboard! The Idaho delegation lucked out with PERFECT weather for a cruise on the Willamette yesterday evening complete with tacos, tall tales from our captain, and a bit of fun before NEA RA officially kicks off bright and (very) early today.

鈥淓veryone Is Welcome Here鈥 is illegal in Idaho classrooms - at least according to Attorney General Ra煤l Labrador and Idaho lawmakers who passed House Bill 41 this year.
What a RIDICULOUS concept!
To be clear:
猸 A universal message of inclusion and belonging is now considered political propaganda.
猸 Federal and state laws already prohibit discrimination in schools. If welcoming every student is partisan, what isn鈥檛?
鈥淭o say that 鈥楨veryone is Welcome鈥 in a public school system is not political; it鈥檚 the law.鈥 鈥 Sarah Inama in a recent news article on the subject (https://bit.ly/4liZGKb)
猸 鈥淓veryone is welcome鈥 isn鈥檛 political鈥攊t鈥檚 the foundation of public education.
