Briana LeClaire of Meridian, education policy analyst for the Idaho Freedom Foundation, testified in favor of the Luna school reform plan. She was followed by Ruth Wells of Montpelier, testifying against, who said, "I think we're rushing into this way too fast." Wells noted that she drove through a blizzard on part of her drive to Boise to testify today. Emma Roemhildt of Nampa, speaking for Idahoans for Choice in Education and supporting the plan, told the committee, "In college I don't know anybody who doesn't have a laptop - it's necessary."

At that point, Goedde said, "Now we're all down to the cons," and called Janie Gebhardt of Pocatello to testify. "I'm a school board trustee for the Pocatello-Chubbuck School District," she said, "and I'm very concerned about Senate Bills 1068 and 1069." She questioned "some kind of magical math" in the plan's increase in class sizes, cuts in teaching jobs and increases in technology. "We're supposed to buy this latest pipe dream, when numbers of the programs that have been tried the past few years have been shifted aside due to lack of funding," Gebhardt said. She said that's why in her school much of the technology already there "needs repair." She said, "We believe the plan is not only unproven, but is unsustainable."
