Ken Edmunds of Twin Falls, president of the Idaho State Board of Education, said what the voters said last week "matters a great deal." He said, "If people aren't satisfied with what we're doing, they're not going to support further change."

The board will hold a special meeting Monday to vote on a series of rule changes, including possibly repealing the requirement that Idaho high school students take two online courses to graduate from high school; doing away with a funding scheme that automatically diverts school districts funds to online course providers if students opt to take courses online, with or without their school district's permission; and considering whether to reconsider rules regarding teacher and principal evaluations. Those follow voters' overwhelming rejection last week of Propositions 1, 2, and 3, repealing the "Students Come First" school reform laws that lawmakers enacted in 2011.

During the campaign, state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna, the author of the "Students Come First" laws, said repeatedly that the online graduation requirement wouldn't go away even if voters rejected Proposition 3, because it was in a state board rule.

Edmunds said, "I still believe that online education is part of the future. I am not certain that the two credits is necessarily the answer. It creates a one size fits all approach." You can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
