OPINION: For Idaho's sake, fund our schools
Hocker
Dear Honorable Members of the Idaho Legislature — Districts 2, 3 and 4,
I am writing to you today with a heavy heart yet unwavering hope for the future of our great state. Idaho's public education system stands at a critical juncture, facing challenges that demand immediate attention and action. As stewards of our state's future, I implore you to prioritize and adequately fund Idaho's public education system.
Despite our state's remarkable potential and outstanding educators' dedication, Idaho consistently ranks among the lowest in the nation in per-pupil spending and overall investment in public education. We must do better. Our children deserve better than to be shortchanged by a system that fails to provide the resources and support they need to succeed. Investing in education is a moral and economic imperative, as it lays the foundation for a skilled workforce and a thriving economy.
