State Board of Education seeks input
April 6, 2017
The public is invited to provide feedback on changes in K-12 education rules for school buses, special education, academic standards and more during six public hearings scheduled to start next Tuesday.

In North Idaho, the public hearing will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 20, in the Bay One Meeting Room at the Coeur d’Alene Resort, 115 South Second Street, Coeur d’Alene.

Changes or additions to state education rules are being proposed and the public is encouraged by the department to participate in the process. This will lead to formal recommendations to be placed before the State Board of Education this fall. Public comment will be accepted through April 26.

The proposals include rule modifications or additions for:
  · Professional Standards Commission (PSC) Revisions
  · Standards for Idaho School Buses and Operations Manual
  · College Entrance Examination
  · Extended Content Standards
  · Special Education Manual
  · Content Standards: Science, Driver Education, Information and Communication Technology
