BOISE – The Idaho Department of Education seeks feedback from stakeholders representing school districts, public charter schools, postsecondary institutions, and other partners as it prepares recommendations on changes to Idaho’s graduation requirements. These recommendations will then be presented to the State Board of Education for review. If approved, they would be the first changes made to Idaho’s graduation requirements in over a decade.
The department will facilitate meetings in five of the state’s six education regions. Department staff will share proposed updates along with a statewide survey. The first events will take place in Pocatello and Twin Falls on Tuesday, June 11. Other sessions will be held in Lewiston, Sandpoint, and Nampa.
Feedback will be used to assist the department in developing the final recommendations, which will be presented to the State Board of Education later this summer. If the board and legislature approve the revised requirements, implementation would be phased in over multiple years.
The full schedule is below. Attendees are asked to register using the following links:
Region 1 | June 20 | Sandpoint
Region 2 | June 19 | Lewiston
Region 3 | June 26 | Nampa
Region 4 | June 11 | Twin Falls
Regions 5/6 (Combined) | June 11 | Pocatello
