Idaho education lacks accountability. Leaders seek answers through task force

The chairman of the Senate Education Committee told an education task force Monday that he is worried about accountability in education and student success.

“In my opinion, Idaho is lacking a lot in accountability,” Sen. Dean Mortimer, R-Idaho Falls, said. “We have struggled over the last five, six, 10 years of having good measuring devices — having data available.

“I believe we are close to having that data available,” he continued.
