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
馃帀 It鈥檚 #AmericanEducationWeek and kickoff day! This week, we`ll be sharing our educator members` priorities and voices.
馃搳 Did you know that 91% of Idaho educators surveyed in 2025 listed stopping voucher schemes as their top priority?
Why? Because public education is a critical public good 鈥 it strengthens our communities, fuels opportunity, and ensures every Idaho child has the freedom to learn.
馃挋 Help us advocate for fully funding and supporting public education in Idaho.

鉁 Solidarity Alert: Starbucks Workers Are on Strike!
Starbucks workers across the country are standing together for fair wages, better scheduling, and respect on the job. It鈥檚 been nearly a year since the company offered a proposal to complete their union contracts 鈥 so baristas voted 92% to authorize an open-ended strike.
Until Starbucks ends its union-busting and bargains in good faith, workers are asking allies to skip Starbucks purchases and stand with them.
Here鈥檚 how you can help:

Because when workers stand together, we all win.

Idaho鈥檚 educators know what it means to serve a community 鈥 and today, we pause to honor those whose service has safeguarded our freedom to teach, learn, and grow.
From every classroom across Idaho: thank you, Veterans. 馃挋

What is PACE?
The Political Action Committee for Education was founded by educators, for educators. We support candidates of either party who stand up for fully funded public schools, local control, and pragmatic policy based on input from real Idahoans.

馃搳 Turnout made the difference.
In Idaho鈥檚 Nov. 4 elections, some school levies passed by just a few votes 鈥 Mountain Home by 20, Orofino by 14 鈥 while others like Valley鈥檚 failed by only 4.
鉁 Wins: West Ada educators helped elect Meghan Brown to the school board, and 18 districts passed supplemental levies.
鉂 Losses: No bonds passed due to Idaho鈥檚 66.7% threshold. Levies failed in Valley, Filer, Marsh Valley, Grangeville, Kellogg, Middleton, and Minidoka County, many by narrow margins.
Only 30% of Idahoans voted 鈥 but those who did proved how much every ballot counts.
Let鈥檚 build on this momentum and make turnout our strongest tool for change in the next election: the May 2026 primary. 馃棾锔忦煉
