Education Policy and School Vouchers Discussed at Superintendent Forum

During a legislative forum at the College of Southern Idaho, state officials, including Lt. Gov. Scott Bedke and Superintendent Debbie Critchfield, addressed Idaho school superintendents about the future of education ahead of the 2025 legislative session. The hot topic was school vouchers, with Bedke expressing openness to wherever children receive their education, underlining the current system's general efficacy. Critchfield emphasized the necessity of accountability, eligibility, and sustainability in any school choice legislation, with a keen focus on the impacts to the overall budget and not just public schools. Significant discussions also revolved around a new funding model proposed by Critchfield’s office, aiming to distribute state money more effectively based on student needs rather than a fixed per-student amount.

Thousands of Idahoans start their day with Today in Twin Falls

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“I'm a senior citizen here in Twin Falls, and this newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use Today in Twin Falls to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
