MORE Talk, Measured Action: Social Media Event, Vouchers, & Ed Policy
Alexis sits down with Matt Todd, host of The Ranch Podcast, to discuss three critical topics impacting education in Idaho. First, they dive into the upcoming More Social Less Media Event—an opportunity for teenagers, parents, teachers, district administration, lawmakers, and school community members to come together on Saturday, April 26th, from 12PM - 4pm at Eagle High School. Featuring a keynote from Chris McKenna of Protect Young Eyes, plus talks from Dr. Megan Smith of Boise State and insights from The Dignity Index, this event promises to spark essential conversations about social media, technology, and the future of our children.
Next, Alexis and Matt tackle the urgent need to improve communication around education policy in Idaho, particularly with the key decision-makers who need to be at the table to discuss tough topics and find solutions for our schools. The episode wraps up with a deep dive into the hot-button issue of school vouchers in Idaho, and the importance of assessing the current regulations to ensure they’re creating the best learning environment for kids while holding ourselves accountable for public funds.
With around 94% of Idaho kids attending public schools, it’s crucial that we work together to strengthen our system for every student.
