Show by Professional Development Inc

West Ada trustees vote tonight on decommissioning McMillan Elementary, and the enrollment math behind that vote now runs statewide: K-12 enrollment is down more than five thousand from its peak, Blaine County forecasts a three point five million dollar hole, and the University of Idaho posts its first decline in five years while BYU-Idaho holds steady. Plus the Boise attendance count and rural educator answers due tomorrow, and the Idaho LAUNCH priority deadline on November thirtieth.
