Idaho public schools to remain closed

The Idaho State Board of Education voted unanimously today to extend the “soft closure” of all public schools to the end of this school year or until local and state social distancing orders have been lifted and re-entry criteria established by the state board have been met.

The soft closure prohibits instruction in school buildings but allows school districts to continue remote learning and to distribute meals to students.

Coeur d’Alene Public Schools have already started remote learning.
