Learn about IEA
We believe public education is a true public good that transforms lives and creates a more just and inclusive society making it an indispensable cornerstone of our American democratic republic. Together, we defend the teaching profession and believe public education is strengthened when educators are respected for their contributions to our state and its families.
The best argument for public education in Idaho is the good, simple truth of what happens in our members’ classrooms each and every day.
Layne McInelly,
IEA President and Public School Educator
“Failing schools is a choice. Let’s choose to make public education accessible, successful and free for everyone.”

When one union is under attack, the rest step up—blocking, pushing back, and holding the line. Because in this game, solidarity wins.
Thank you to the Idaho State AFL-CIO, the Professional Firefighters of Idaho, and the Idaho State Fraternal Order of Police for showing up with our members last week, ready to defend, testify and protect Idaho teachers from the union-busting House Bill 98.
But the game`s not yet won. IEA members, take these actions tonight in preparation for the punted committee hearing that will take place tomorrow, February 10:
⚠️ Switch to AutoPay NOW to defy HB 98`s elimination of payroll deduction: idahoea.org/members/autopay/

🚨 House Bill 93 (school vouchers) hits the House Floor tomorrow! 🚨
It diverts YOUR tax dollars to private schools with zero taxpayer accountability—
❌ No staff background checks
❌ No real student outcome oversight
Say NO to reckless misuse of public funds and the continued chronic underfunding of public schools. Contact your rep and stop HB 93 (click the link in our bio)!
