BOISE, Idaho (AP) - The U.S. Department of Education has awarded
two Idaho school districts with grants to improve their readiness
and emergency response plans.
The Kamiah Joint School District has been awarded nearly
$200,000 and the Madison School District has been awarded nearly
$100,000. They were two of the 92 districts across 34 states to be
granted more than $24 million under the Readiness and Emergency
Management for Schools program.
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced the
grants Wednesday, saying the money will help ensure the safety of
children by allowing the districts to strengthen their crisis
planning.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
