Education

Today the state board of education will consider a number of issues in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic in Idaho, including the extension of the "soft closure" of schools.

The State of Idaho has just made a move to, if not reduce, maintain the already established level as stress as all of Idaho's 4-year colleges have announced the intent to freeze in-state tuition for next school year.

Every year, as with other organizations and agencies, the Idaho Department of Education prioritizes its budget for upcoming years.

The SAT scores of high school juniors are slightly down from last year in the Gem State, according to education officials.

Those looking to become school administrators or higher education leaders have access to one of the best programs in the nation right here in Boise.

And there's new evidence that the program just keeps getting better.

The website Niche.com has released their annual best and worst schools ranking for the country, and we dove in to find the best elementary, middle, and high schools in Idaho.

Social studies. Math. History. Gun safety?

It's not out of the question for Idaho schools.

Details are sparse at the moment, but this certainly isn't going to end well.
