A 15-year financing deal gives the state’s largest district a way to move ahead with major construction projects.

West Ada trustees could soon vote to close the school due to its declining enrollment and need for expensive repairs.

The district rolled out a number of proposals during virtual and in-person meetings this week it called “The Future of Boise Schools.”

The new facility will serve the college’s roughly 50 nursing students.

The move follows a similar switch in Boise. PCs are now “significantly more expensive” than a Mac, one district administrator said.

The dip is not a surprise. District leaders planned for a 600-student decrease when they set their budget for this school year.

The district plans to roll out “ChatGPT Edu” for teachers in the spring semester. Boise joins more than 100 districts, charters and other K-12 organizations nationwide that have partnered with the company.

A former student will receive $34,000 after alleging she twice encountered a classmate in the girls’ restroom.

Population gains haven’t translated into more public school students, leaving district officials trying to figure out where families are going — and why.
