Continuing Public Education in Idaho with Phil Gore

Phil Gore is the Chief Learning Officer for the Idaho School Board Association. Idaho, along with other states, voted for a version of school vouchers (School Choice in Idaho), and many public education advocates felt disheartened at the end of the legislative session. Directly following the session, many school bonds to build new schools for Idaho’s growing populations also failed, which further upset public school champions. Phil had great insight into the current state of education and how best to spend your time if you want to improve the public system in Idaho.
