These families chose virtual for bullying safety, medical/health needs, parent curriculum transparency, or academic excellence—now punished?

🚨 Idaho alert: Funding cuts target ONLY low-income kids in virtual charter schools—losing essential computers for at-home learning! Traditional schools give free laptops & WiFi.

[The Coalition of Idaho Charter School Families @IDSchoolChoice]

One wonders: who has the audacity to cut millions from the very funds equipping low-income public school students with computers and internet access?
Because nothing screams ‘equity’ like leaving them disconnected.
Good job, Idaho.

TBT 20 years ago, ID showed real foresight.
Transportation funds were used for computers & internet—bringing school to students in new virtual public charters.
Thank you @SenatorRisch! You saw the future of education—and got it right.

Today, the NAEP released the Nation’s Report Card, revealing a decline in student performance on 12th-grade math and reading & 8th-grade science since 2019. This is a gut punch for parents. It is time we pave a path towards more #schooloptions.

Noticeably absent? BLUUM & the Idaho Charter School Network—likely too busy cutting back room deals at the expense of kids. We’ll always stand with families and advocates like Virginia, not power brokers. #SchoolChoice

We’re honored to represent Idaho as the only org in our state fighting for all students, no matter which option their parents chose. Today we’re the only Idaho voice here as Virginia Walden Ford shares her life’s work. Her story shines in Miss Virginia. #SchoolChoice

Today, charter school kiddos helped kickoff America250 in Idaho! #idleg 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Virtual schools are a lifeline for kids struggling with anxiety & bullying—parent surveys show safety trumps test scores. School choice empowers families to prioritize well-being. Stop slamming the door on this vital option! #SchoolChoice #EducationFreedom #idleg

This #LaborDay, let’s celebrate teachers—not union bosses.

Too often, union politics come first while educators’ voices get ignored. Teachers deserve fairness, freedom & respect—so they can focus on helping kids succeed. https://t.co/RT3C9qibQg

@idahoednews Sen. Lent claimed he rushed SB1188 hearing because “opposition was present.” In reality, the only people in the room with signs were his support. See photos. Facts matter. Kids matter. Stop shutting them out S1188. #idleg #idpol #schoolchoice
