Extractions: States and local governments are in the midst of a financial crisis not seen since the end of World War II. Kentucky is facing hard economic times. California is feeling the greatest pinch in total dollars. Idaho, some say, is enduring the greatest budget crisis of all. In the debate about state and local governments finding additional revenue sources to provide services, the issue of federal intervention in the affairs of state and local governments is rarely mentioned. Ignored is the fact that one of the factors in the fiscal crisis is rooted in unfunded federal mandates.

Extractions: History of the Boise School District The District's logo was designed by Mr. Bob Auth, former District Art Supervisor. THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS Research indicates that the first school in Boise was opened by F. B. Smith in the fall of 1863 at the corner of Idaho and Seventh Streets. In 1864, a public school system was established in the Idaho Territory. In 1865, the territorial governor appointed J. B. Knight as the county superintendent for Ada County; and he organized School District No. 1, which included Boise City and adjacent lands. The first public school in Boise opened in June 1865. Financial support came primarily from public contributions, as county funds were insufficient to build and maintain schools. Due to financial problems, the public school was closed from June 1866 until July 1868. In September, 1868, the citizens of Boise approved a tax levy of 5 mills for each dollar of taxable property. The money generated was used to build a school on Eighth and Washington Streets. Unfortunately, the school cost more than was anticipated, and the voters turned down a proposal to increase taxes and pay the excess building costs. Because of this, the building debt was not completely paid off until 1871. An attempt to improve the financial condition of the District was made in 1880. Three districts were created to serve Boise City: District No. 1 serving an area bounded by Main Street on the south and Eighth Street on the east; District No. 22, serving the area south of Main; and District No. 24 serving the area west of Eighth. Increasing enrollment and increasing financial problems again caused the citizens of Boise to request a better method of providing for public schools. Thus, in an effort to strengthen the public schools and provide a graded system, the three existing districts were combined to form the Independent School District of Boise City #1.

I have long believed that the responsibility for educating our youth should be based with parents, teachers, and local school officials. I think Idaho parents and local school boards not Washington bureaucrats ought to decide what our children should be taught and how our education dollars should be spent. Accordingly, I have supported legislation that would return education funding to the states. While there may be a role for the federal government to play in education, it must be kept minimal. I believe this is necessary to ensure a positive and engaging educational experience for the young people of America. While college is not for everyone, those who choose to attend should have reasonable access to financial aid, whether that be through grants, scholarships, or loans. I have supported measures in the past which opened the door to more aid for students by eliminating the consideration of family assets such as home, farm, and small business equity in calculating the level of need. This has helped students from middle income families, not in a position to liquidate such assets, to provide for their children's college education.

Just across the bridge is Clarkston, Washington. So much of these cities are intertwined that I will present the two together as the Lewis-Clark Valley. Lewiston is the larger of the two. Things like knowing your neighbors, living just 5 to 15 minutes from your place of work, no traffic jams, low crime rate and a great climate can contribute to a fabulous lifestyle. In fact, the pleasant climate really adds an extra dimension to working and playing. A BIT OF HISTORY For many centuries, the Nez Perce Indians referred to the Lewis-Clark Valley as the Tsceminicum, which means "the meeting of the waters." It was a perfect place to camp, gather roots, fish and hunt game.

Extractions: IEA Government Relations Committee INTRODUCTION What a difference a year can make. The 2001 Idaho Legislature began the session with a record $300+ million budget surplus. Less than a year later the governor has issued two budget holdbacks totaling $55 million for all state agencies, including recommending holding back $23.3 million from Idahos public schools. The revenue picture for FY 2003 looks even bleaker, as a national recession and slowing state economy indicate that all state agencies, including public schools, might face a budget decrease of 5% or greater to balance the FY 2003 budget. While the states economy has changed significantly in less than a year, the needs of Idahos public schools have not. Parents, community members, policy makers, and educators all expect more from our public schools. We are ready to meet the increasing demands, but we cannot do it without the necessary resources it takes to ensure that every child in Idaho is given the opportunity to receive a world-class education. And if the FY 2003 budget is reduced by 5% or more, Idahos children will suffer. An appropriation decrease will mean that class sizes will increase, programs and services to students will decrease, and students will be given fewer educational opportunities.

Extractions: This article is reproduced here under special arrangement with Inclusion Daily Express Email News Service. HONOLULU, July 30 Following the lead of 16 other U.S. states, the Eye of the Pacific Guide Dogs and Mobility Services Inc. last week pushed for a state law that would make it illegal to allow an aggressive dog to injure or kill any guide, signal or service dog. The proposed bill is in response to a number of recent cases in which loose dogs have attacked service dogs, that typically are not trained to defend themselves. The group wants the law to include a fine of up to $10,000 along with substantial jail time for the attacking dogs' owner. To many people who rely on service animals, such an attack is not only a threat to their own independence but their safety as well. These well-trained animals usually cost thousands of dollars. "There's nothing out there to protect service animals," Virgil Stinnett, 31, told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Stinnett, who is blind, introduced the legislation last week. His guide dog, Brandon, was attacked by two loose pit bull terriers last year. The pit bulls' owner had to pay a $20 fine.

Send Us Your Comments on this Document This is one of a series of Letters to the Field dealing with different aspects of delivery of mental health services to persons in sparsely-populated frontier areas-a historically-underserved group living in a special and unique part of the United States. This letter deals with the organization and delivery of services to children and adolescents with serious mental illness (SMI). It is based on published and unpublished literature, and interviews with planners and providers. A companion Letter will complete the picture by presenting the highlights of two study groups-one for providers, and the other for parents held in a frontier area. These Letter s are intended for a wide audience of lay persons, planners, and practitioners and are written in a non-technical way, with a minimum of references.
