    Lawmakers have tried over the past several years to put some kind of program in place that would help parents pay for private school using everything from vouchers to education savings accounts, but none of those past proposals have become law.

    We want to take a deep dive into school choice, and we’re planning a series of conversations about how this would affect kids and parents, public and private schools, charter and religious schools, taxpayers and educators.

    So we asked Quinn Perry, the Policy and Government Affairs Director for the Idaho School Boards Association, to join Idaho Matters for a conversation about a bill before the Idaho Legislature that would provide $5000 in tax credits to parents who enroll their children in private school.

    Can public money be used for private schooling? Feb 22, 2024

    The Idaho Legislature has a new school choice proposal this year that would give out tax credits to parents who enroll their kids in private school.

    Some say this creates a conflict with Idaho's constitution, specifically the Blaine Amendment, which says the state cannot use public funds for religious schools.

    We’re taking a deep dive into school choice with a series of conversations about how this would affect kids and parents, public and private schools, charter and religious schools, taxpayers and educators.

    School choice is a big issue, and we’re just starting to scratch the surface, so we asked Jim Jones to join Idaho Matters for a conversation. He spent 12 years as a justice of Idaho's Supreme Court and eight years as Idaho's Attorney General.

    Cullen Jones is a four-time Olympic medalist and the first African American swimmer to hold a world record.

    You might recall that he was part of the legendary world record-setting 4x100 relay team at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He is also the founder of USA Swimming's Make a Splash program, which aims to make swim lessons accessible to all.

    Cullen will be in Boise this evening, Feb. 22, to talk more about this, but first he stopped by Idaho Matters for a chat.

    Even though the weather has been feeling a bit like spring, we are still in the middle of winter ... which means flu season is still upon us.

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about what viruses we should be watching out for.

    Every year, the heads of Idaho's public colleges and universities stand up in front of budget lawmakers at the Idaho Legislature and present their annual request for general fund dollars.

    This year will be a little different after some changes were made inside the powerful Joint Finance Appropriations Committee, and Boise State University President Dr. Marlene Tromp has been preparing for her turn in front of the committee.

    She sat down with our Morning Edition host, George Prentice, to talk about her preparations and about what Boise State has accomplished over the past year.

    It's been more than 80 years since Hattie McDaniel made history as the first black actor to win an Oscar, accepting the award for her role as Mammy in "Gone with the Wind."

    Now the story of that night is being reimagined in the play "Boulevard of Bold Dreams," which is premiering on the Alley Repertory Theater stage next week in Boise.

    Dakotah Brown, the director of the production, and Shana Tavares, who plays Hattie McDaniel, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the upcoming performance.

    The Idaho Legislature is planning to once again tackle the issue of school choice during this year’s session with a bill that gives parents a tax credit to help offset the cost of private school.

    We’re taking a deep dive into school choice and looking at how this would affect kids and parents, public and private schools, charter and religious schools, taxpayers and educators.

    We wondered how school choice programs were faring in other states, so we asked Chris Cargill to join Idaho Matters. He’s the President and CEO of the Mountain States Policy Center, and he took a look at 187 studies on school choice programs around the country.

    We’re continuing our deep dive into the topic of school choice as lawmakers debate a bill that would provide tax credits to parents who enroll their kids in private school.

    That includes religious schools, which has sparked a debate over Idaho's constitution and a provision that state dollars cannot be used for religious education.

    We wanted to get the perspective of a private religious school, so we asked the superintendent of Nampa Christian schools, Dr. Greg Wiles, to join Idaho Matters.
