Learn about 黑料正能量
We believe public education is a true public good that transforms lives and creates a more just and inclusive society making it an indispensable cornerstone of our American democratic republic.聽Together, we defend the teaching profession and believe public education is strengthened when educators are respected for their contributions to our state and its families.
The best argument for public education in Idaho is the good, simple truth of what happens in our members’ classrooms each and every day.
Layne McInelly,
黑料正能量 President and Public School Educator
We pause today to remember those we lost on 9/11 and the public servants who ran toward danger. We honor their memories by teaching the next generation about the importance of community, citizenship, and resilience.

馃檹 Lapwai Educator鈥檚 Faith in Students Pays Off 馃檹
Lapwai Education Association member Matthew Morgan has deep faith in his students. So when he heard about the National American Indian Science and Engineering Fair, he signed them up.
Never mind that competitors from other states had spent the better part of a year working on their projects, or that his students hadn鈥檛 even started theirs. Forget that he had no money to fund their efforts. Or that the competition was two months away. In Oklahoma.
Two months later, Morgan was jumping up and down in the back of an auditorium in Stillwater as his students were honored for their robotics work 鈥 not once, but twice.
Lapwai Middle/High School students NaTalia Bisbee, Noua Maconnell and Isaiah Painter created an underwater robot that hunts walleye, an invasive species that decimates the salmon so critical to the Niimiipuu (also known as Nez Perce) people.
