STATE BOARD REAFFIRMS SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS COME FIRST

(Pocatello). The State Board of Education today reiterated its support for the education reform efforts enacted under the Students Come First laws.

Board President Ken Edmunds said, “The State Board of Education is committed to providing educational opportunities that prepare Idaho students for a successful future. The K-12 reform initiative known as Students Come First was legislated in 2011 with the support of the State Board. Since that time, much progress has been made in setting Idaho on a path to an education system that reflects the needs and capabilities of the 21st Century.”

The Idaho State Board of Education (SBOE) provides general oversight and governance for public K-20 education. To learn more about the Idaho State Board of Education,
