An alternative proposal to the Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind and line item budget requests from Idaho's major post-secondary schools lead the agenda as the Idaho State Board of Education meets today and Friday at the Herrett Center for Arts and Science at the College of Southern Idaho.
The board meets today at 10 a.m. with an executive session before the public meeting begins at 1 p.m. in the Rick Allen Community Room. Board members expect to go until 8 p.m. today, spokesman Mark Browning said, and continue at 8 a.m. Friday in the same location.
Among other items for consideration, including contracts and a change in the University of Idaho's employee health plan, are models for serving deaf and blind students.
The proposals, created by a 2005 committee that studied the effectiveness of the Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind in Gooding, focus on allowing students to stay in their current school districts across the state and provide for a Boise-based small-group program for students who need more help. The new program would be administered directly through the SBOE office.
After the executive session, the meeting is open to the public.
