NEA report: Idaho still on the bottom for per-student spendi

Idaho’s per-student spending increased slightly during the 2020-21 school year, but average teacher salaries dropped, according to an annual report by the National Education Association
.
The latest estimates, provided to the NEA by state departments of education across the country, suggest that Idaho still has the lowest per-pupil spending of any state during the pandemic year, and has started to slip backward in teacher pay after years of increasing salaries.
Idaho Education Association president Layne McInelly blasted the per-student spending in a Monday news release.
“The Idaho legislature’s lack of support for public education continues to be a national embarrassment,” McInelly said. “While our legislature is focused on  unnecessary tax cuts, private school vouchers and kangaroo court task forces on ‘indoctrination,’ the real problems facing Idaho public (schools), including dramatic shortages in resources and personnel, remain unaddressed.”
