IDLA: Troubled by efforts to defund
I am writing to express concern over recent efforts to significantly reduce funding for Idaho Digital Learning and to restructure the program. The proposed cuts — growing from $10 million to $13.5 million — along with accompanying legislative changes, are troubling and risk undermining a program that plays a vital role in supporting students and schools across Idaho.
As a longtime Republican voter, I feel increasingly disconnected from a process that appears to overlook both public input and a full understanding of IDLA’s impact. My perspective is shaped by firsthand experience: my husband has worked with IDLA since 2003, and I have seen the dedication of its staff in going above and beyond to serve students, families, and schools statewide.
