  • South-Central Idaho School Districts See Low Reading Scores

    Aug 15, 2017

That's reflected in scores on the Idaho Reading Indicator, an early reading test for kindergarten through third-graders. The Idaho State Department of Education released numbers recently for the 2016-17 school year. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/idaho/articles/2017-08-12/south-central-idaho-school-districts-see-low-reading-scores...

  • Editorial: Frustration, not resignation, over school scores

    Aug 15, 2017

Conversations with district and other education leaders provide perspective and shed some light on the path forward. Failure isn’t an option in a city and state where continued economic vitality depends on preparing every student for a workforce that will need them. http://www.twincities.com/2017/08/13/editorial-frustration-not-resignation-over-school-score...
