We are partnering with two community organizations to support teachers, and even more importantly the students who we all serve. Please check out these two websites, each with an associated Facebook page that you
can click to from the site:
http://boiseidaho.net/YesForBoiseSchoolsCom/ is the
campaign to pass the Boise schools levy on March 13. We need people
willing to support that effort through encouraging others to vote for
it, donating to help cover campaign expenses (everything is run by
volunteers; expenses are for direct-mail and such), and volunteering.
http://idahoparentsandteachers.com/ is the website
of Idaho Parents and Teachers Together, the group that formed to provide an alternative to
Luna's Students Come First plan. They have successfully placed referenda
questions on the ballot for next November to overturn the plan and provide a progressive alternatie. The group is conducting a survey
that they'd like all Idahoans concerned about public schools to take at
http://greatidahoschools.org; they''ll use it to formulate ideas for school policy that will involve,
hopefully, hundreds or thousands of people, unlike Tom Luna's plan which
was written by a few power brokers.
PLEASE HELP US!
