The Idaho State Department of Education is helmed by the Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction, an elected official.

Each year the Idaho State Department of Education serves more than 300,000 students,[4] at 736 schools,[5] across 115 districts.[6]

Superintendents of Public Instruction edit

The Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction is an elected official and chief executive officer of the State Department of Education responsible for carrying out the policies, procedures, and duties authorized by law or established by the Board for all public elementary and secondary school matters.

The office of superintendent is established in the Idaho Constitution[7] Article IV, Section 1; "The executive department shall consist of a governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state controller, state treasurer, attorney general and superintendent of public instruction, each of whom shall hold his office for four years beginning on the first Monday in January next after his election, commencing with those elected in the year 1946..."

Before 1946, Idaho superintendents of public instruction were elected every two years.

Responsibilities edit

The Idaho State Department of Education implements policies, distributes funds, administers statewide assessments, licenses educators, and provides accountability data for all kindergarten through grade-12 public instruction.[5]

Idaho K-12 charter schools are managed by the Idaho Public Charter School Commission[17] and abide by independent reporting and funding procedures, however, the Idaho State Department of Education works closely with the commission to ensure access, equability, and accountability across all Idaho education efforts. This extends to the inclusion of charter schools in the Idaho Schools "report card" tool,[4] which aggregates performance, progress, and enrollment data for all Idaho public schools.

Programs edit

The Idaho State Department of Education supports Idaho schools and students through its work in fourteen areas.[18]

Challenges edit

Of the 44 counties in Idaho, seven are urban and 37 are rural as classified by the Idaho Department of Labor.[29] That translates to three quarters of the school districts in Idaho being recognized as rural, per the Idaho statute definition.[30] The schools in these rural areas are regularly challenged to find and retain effective teachers to meet the needs of all of their students, transport students quickly and safely to and from school, and respond to unexpected personnel or technology needs in order to deliver uninterrupted instruction.[31]

In 2021, the statewide high school graduation rate was 80.1 percent while the college enrollment rate was 37 percent.[32][33] In rural schools, these rates tend to be lower.[34]

Idaho State Board of Education edit

The general supervision, governance, and control of the state educational institutions and public school system of the State of Idaho, as with the education system's executive agencies, are vested in the Idaho State Board of Education (SBOE).[3] State statute requires that this Board "...shall consist of the state superintendent of public instruction, who shall be an ex officio voting member and who shall serve as executive secretary of the board for all elementary and secondary school matters..."[35]

Board Members may be contacted through the Office of the State Board of Education. Current members of the Board include:[36]

  • Kurt Liebich, President
  • Dr. Linda Clark
  • Dr. David Hill
  • Shawn Keough
  • Bill Gilbert
  • Cally Roach
  • Cindy Siddoway
  • Debbie Critchfield
