Rep. Hy Kloc, D-Boise speaks on behalf of his preschool bill
A bill that would establish a pilot program to study preschool in five Idaho elementary schools was introduced by the House Education Committee today. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Hy Kloc, D-Boise, will now get a bill number, and could move forward to a full public hearing. Several key committee members are concerned about both the cost of preschool programs and the concept of lessening family involvement in early learning. The IEA is among several education stakeholder groups that support public preschool.
