After more than two hours of questions for state schools Supt. Tom Luna and his aide, Jason Hancock, the House Education Committee is now taking stakeholder testimony. Sherri Wood, president of the Idaho Education Association, told the panel, "What we know is that Idaho needs jobs more than anything else, and SB 1184 could mean hundreds and perhaps thousands of lost jobs for Idaho." She said, "By imposing technology mandates and a new pay for performance scheme... the Luna plan means districts will have little choice but to increase class size, cut pay, reduce staff, or continue furlough days, or perhaps all of the above. These gimmicks in this plan are hidden now, but they are still there."

Wood said, "This legislation trades teachers for technology. Let's be clear. SB 1184 creates a permanent line item for computers, while reducing the amount of direct teacher time for every student. ... How is this going to attract teachers to Idaho? How is this going to help our economy recover?" Responding to questions from committee members, she said she's already heard of Idaho teachers applying for jobs in other states and Idaho students studying to become teachers who are now hoping for jobs in Wyoming, Washington and elsewhere, not in Idaho.
