Governor Brad Little joined legislators and Idaho education leaders today in announcing the establishment of the new Parent Advisory Council for the popular Empowering Parents grant program and encouraged Idaho parents to apply for a spot on the council.
"Recognizing the parents' role as the primary decision makers in their children's education, we created the Empowering Parents grant program to help families take charge of learning tools outside the classroom. The Parent Advisory Council will advise the State Board of Education on ways to strengthen the Empowering Parents grant program," Governor Little said.
