Federal Funding Cut for Rural Idaho Schools
Update: 2025-12-31
Description
Federal funding for 22 Idaho rural school districts, totaling nearly $30 million, is ending due to a denial of an appeal. This cuts off support for 25,000 students across 65 schools, impacting literacy programs, STEM achievement, mental health services, career learning, and afterschool activities. The Department of Education cited diversity, equity, and inclusion language in the original application, despite no such work being done or planned. This threatens 60 full-time staff jobs and leaves districts like American Falls scrambling for new money, potentially leading to cuts or a levy increase. Checkout Solipillow.com
