Reclaim Idaho announces statewide tour

| August 24, 2021 1:00 AM

Reclaim Idaho on Monday announced a statewide tour to promote the Quality Education Act, a ballot initiative to increase K-12 funding by over $300 million annually.

Reclaim Idaho says a boost in education funding is needed to give Idaho kids access to qualified teachers and the skills they need to earn a living.

If volunteers succeed in collecting 64,945 valid signatures by May 1, 2022, the Quality Education Act will appear on the November 2022 ballot and give Idaho voters a chance to boost funding for K-12 education.

Beginning Aug. 28 and lasting through mid-September, Reclaim Idaho will tour the state in their bright-green camper and visit communities in every region of Idaho.

Stops will include Paul Bunyan Days in St. Maries and the Under the Freeway Flea Market in Wallace.
