Idaho is making significant progress toward reimagining education and creating meaningful opportunities for students and families. With a continued focus on innovation and flexibility, Idaho’s efforts are empowering families to take an active role in their children’s education.

Key milestones include: 

  • Open Enrollment: Idaho leads the nation with its robust open enrollment policy, allowing families to choose the best public school for their children, unrestricted by ZIP codes. This flexibility ensures every child has access to the education they deserve.
  • Advanced Opportunities: Students can earn college credits or professional certifications while in high school, giving them a head start on their future careers.
  • Idaho LAUNCH: With up to $8,000 in grants for post-secondary training in high-demand fields, this initiative not only invests in students but also in Idaho’s economic future.
  • Empowering Parents: Grants that place families in control of their children’s education ensure parents remain at the center of their child’s learning journey.

As Idaho builds on this momentum, the state is setting a powerful example of how education policy can be designed to prioritize students and families. By continuing to expand opportunities, Idaho is ensuring its families and students remain at the forefront of these transformative changes.
