Idaho: A Patchwork Funding Quilt with Lots of Holes. Second in a Two-Part Look at Issues Facing Rural Schools in the West and Midwest.
Richard, Alan
Education Week, v19 n11 p6-7 Nov 10 1999
Idaho's patchwork-quilt way of financing schools does not provide enough stable financial resources for many rural schools. Tax levies are sometimes unsuccessful. Some rural districts have depended on forest revenues, but this source dwindled following new environmental policies. Federal legislation may return a portion of forest revenues, but will not solve the inequities in state funding. (CDS)
