Treasure Valley Schools Considering Extending Closure to April 20th
Treasure Valley parents are dealing with keeping their kids occupied and educated during the stay-at-home order that has closed area schools. Now schools are considering keeping schools closed until April 20th even if the stay-at-home order is lifted on April 15th.
According to an article on idahonews.com, the Idaho State Board of Education will hold a virtual meeting today at 3 p.m. to discuss the issue. You can watch the meeting live through Facebook.
Other items up for discussion include...
- waiving rules defining semester credit hours
- request the governor consider suspending certain statutory requirements to provide school districts added flexibility
