Listen to Luke Mayville speak to the CIty Club members on his passion for Education in Idaho and the Quality Education Act that will be on the ballot this November.
"It's Time to Vote for Quality Education"
-Idaho ranks dead last of 50 states in funding for K-12 education. We're facing a crisis-level teacher shortage with teacher pay near the lowest in the nation. School districts are cutting traditional Idaho programs in welding, carpentry, and ag science.
-This November, voters will likely have a chance to vote for the Quality Education Act, a citizen initiative that would boost pay for teachers and invest in strong K-12 programs.
-The Quality Education Act is paid for without a penny of new taxes for any individual making under $250,000 or any married couple making under $500,000.
