Cherie will continue to take purposeful action on recommendations from the Governor’s Task Force for Improving Education in order to pave the way for a solid future for Idaho students. She will work diligently to meet our commitment to our children, teachers, and schools to restore funding beyond 2009 levels attained last legislative session. Cherie firmly believes we must make education a priority fund it appropriately, and give local districts the latitude to make decision that are best for their needs.
