Big crowd for today’s school hearing…

Idahoans sign in to testify at Tuesday's public hearing on school reform; it's the first of three days of public testimony on state schools Supt. Tom Luna's controversial reform plan, which calls for larger class sizes, more online courses, laptops for every high school student, and a pay-for-performance plan for teachers. (Betsy Russell)

More than 50 people already have signed up to testify at today's 3 p.m. hearing on state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna's school reform plan, and many more are lined up in the Statehouse garden level hallway to sign up. The public testimony will run from 3 to 5, and then continue both tomorrow and Thursday. Here, people sign in.
