Educators in Idaho are urging the state’s Congressional delegation to support the Education Jobs Bill that would provide $23 billion to education nationwide, and help fund many of the positions and programs that are in jeopardy in the Gem State.
In the midst of the worst financial crisis in education since the Great Depression, 300,000 educators are expected to lose their jobs, including 500 in Idaho.
Idaho Education Association President Sherri Wood says that’s why teachers, education support professionals and parents are rallying behind the proposed bill.
