Bonneville Joint School District 93 superintendent, Dr. Scott Woolstenhulme talks about his opposition to Idaho’s House Bill 93, a new law providing tax credits for parents to use for private education. Superintendent Woolstenhulme’s primary objection is that the law directs public funds to private institutions without requiring them to meet the same constitutional standards of uniformity and accountability as public schools. Neal and Julie challenges this, framing the law as an expansion of parental freedom and choice. Their debate covers whether the program provides an escape for parents dealing with student behavior issues in public schools and the fundamental differences in their interpretation of the state’s constitutional duty to provide education.
