This quote from Rick DuFour is at the heart of our promise in D93 to design success for every student. The work of public schools to ensure every student develops the knowledge, skills, and traits to succeed outside of school has never been more important than it is today. Thank you for your support of our dedicated teachers, counselors, school psychologists, speech and language therapists, nurses, and many, many other crticial support staff who work tirelessly to make our promise a reality for our students.

The Idaho Primary Election on Tuesday will be an incredibly important one in shaping education policy and funding for the next decade. Some of the pivotal education issues that our elected representatives will continue to decide over the next two years include:

• How to adequately fund public schools
• How to establish and maintain a uniform and thorough system of education
• Whether to provide public funding for private education
• What school safety measures to mandate including whether to require schools to allow individuals to carry guns in school

Please take the time to educate yourself on where the candidates in your respective zones stand on these and other critical issues. We strongly encourage our families and patrons to exercise your right to vote for the candidates who best represent your values on Tuesday. Polling places will be open from 8 am to 8 pm.

Your vote truly matters.

The Bonneville Joint School District Board of Trustees conducted a series of significant deliberations throughout the week. Notably, during last night's board work meeting, considerable attention was devoted to a thorough review of the Student Code of Conduct, with a specific focus on the dress code policy. This session facilitated an insightful dialogue among assistant principals and principals, affording the Board valuable insights into the nuances of addressing dress code infractions from an administrative standpoint.

Additionally, the Board proceeded to ratify the 2024-2025 Master Agreement between the Bonneville Education Association and the school district, signifying a collaborative effort to uphold standards of excellence within our educational community. The Bonneville Education Association is planning to ratify the agreement on Monday, May 16th.

Moreover, today witnessed a momentous occasion as select members of the Board were in attendance when Governor Little, alongside local senators and representatives, ceremonially presented a check totaling $51,817,934.00 to Bonneville Joint School District 93. This generous allocation, designated in lieu of HB521 School Facilities, stands to significantly enhance our district's capacity to provide quality education and maintain essential facilities for our students and staff alike.

The fifth graders continued the cherished tradition of the annual bike ride, with perfect weather conditions enhancing their journey to the park. A heartfelt thanks to the volunteers, law enforcement, and safety personnel for their invaluable support of this great D93 event.

Meanwhile, the fourth graders had an exhilarating experience at the Mountain Man Rendezvous, where they learned about traditional crafts and the lifestyle of early frontiersmen through hands-on activities. Both events offered unique learning opportunities, making them memorable parts of our students' educational journey.
