The 2013 Legislative Session has officially started. Coalition Board members and members of the Coalition are asked to be active in the issues that affect or will affect YOUR Charter School!! There are many organizations (School boards, School Districts, the Idaho teachers unions) that want to see Charter Schools FAIL and they will be actively engaged in efforts to pass legislation or change rules in ways that can imperil your opportunities for CHOICE IN EDUCATION in Idaho.

Letter about election
November 8, 2012

The elections are now over. One of the most divisive issues on the ballot was the education reform laws, Proposition 1, 2, and 3. Opponents and supporters of those laws agreed that we want schools that prepare our students for jobs and college; they just disagreed on the best way to do that.

Letter From The President
August 22, 2012

I hope that you and your family have had a restful and fun summer! My name is Renee McKenzie, and I am the recently appointed President of the Coalition of Idaho Public Charter and Virtual School Families. Like you, I care about choice in public school education for my children and for future generations of Idahoans. We have been blessed in Idaho with the freedom of school choice and with that freedom comes the responsibility of being actively involved in protecting and enhance that freedom.

It's True-----------we are all geared up for "Back to School"! As summer draws to a close and we all get back into the "swing" of school, the Coalition of Idaho Charter School Families is also gearing up! Lots of things happen over the summer but having fun is Number 1. Although not everything we did was really FUN?we did attend many meetings that affect public charters and public virtual schools.
