Idaho Legislature - Week 4

In this episode of IEA's HOTLINE Podcast, we discuss Week 4 of the Idaho Legislature’s 2023 session. Our discussion centers around bond and levy elections on March 14 and proposed legislation to limit school district opportunities to put such measures before voters (House Bill 58). We also discuss legislation (House Bill 114) expanding protections for educators from physical violence —  a problem educators face all to often — and IEA's coming testimony on Tuesday against the session's first voucher bill (Senate Bill 1038). We also discuss IEA Local Lobby Days, which last Monday included members from Vallivue Education Association and Caldwell Education Association. Joining the conversation are:IEA’s Political Director Chris ParriIEA Executive Director Paul Stark
