About Us
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
💙 Like if you`re a proud IEA member and public education voter. 💚
Happy Election Day! 🇺🇸

🎥 Watch West Bonner teacher Kasey Nelson and a City Council Member Candy Turner discuss the crucial need for passing their school district`s supplemental levy.
As Kasey powerfully states, "The Idaho State Constitution says that we will fund schools 100%, and we haven`t for a long time."
Let`s stand up for our students and educators by voting YES on November 5th.
Support West Bonner`s supplementary levy and all school district levies across Idaho. Our children`s future depends on it.

West Bonner School District 83
Wendell School District Superintendent Tim Perrigot came from a line of educators but never thought he’d be one himself — until one general elective class in college changed his mind. He spent the day working with high school football players and was offered an assistant coaching job on the spot. “I just fell in love with it,” he says. “I called my parents back, told them that I needed more money because I wanted to go back to school a little bit longer. And I decided to become a teacher.”
He spent his career in small towns like Paul and Rupert, eventually becoming the longtime Minico High School football coach. In 2018, he was named the superintendent in Wendell — but he never gave up his IEA membership. And even though he’ll retire in a few months, he’s not done advocating for Idaho educators. “I think probably the most important thing I can do is continue to be vocal about supporting folks that are involved in education,” he says. “We’ve got to make sure they’re treated as royalty, because they’re raising the next generation of leaders.”
