Educational Spending Efficacy in Idaho with Jeff Carlson

Jeff Carlson is an Education Tech specialist and came in to speak on the value of having a Student Longitudinal Data Set in Idaho. An SLDS would allow policy makers in Idaho to better understand the complete picture of funds spent by the Idaho government on an individual 0-18 years old and better enhance or restrict funding based on efficacy and life outcomes. It’s a fascinating idea that is already being rolled out in other financially conservative states. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials.
