Idaho approves rule requiring all 2 online classes as high school requirement
Nov 4, 2011 2:41 PM
From The Spokane Spokesman-Review: The Idaho State Board of Education has given final approval to a rule requiring every Idaho student to take two online classes to graduate from high school. The rule takes effect with this year’s 8th graders, the high school class of 2016. Parents, teachers and others opposed to the reform plan, which also includes removing most collective bargaining rights from teachers, phasing in a laptop computer for every high school student and teacher, and shifting money from teacher pay to technology purchases and merit-pay bonuses, have qualified a referendum for the November 2012 ballot that could overturn it in its entirety.
