During the 2025 legislative session, Idaho lawmakers passed House Bill 93 and enacted a $50 million school-voucher program. For the first time in state history, Idaho tax dollars will be used to subsidize the cost of tuition for private-school families.

The majority of Idaho citizens opposed House Bill 93. In the days leading up to the decision by Governor Brad Little to sign the bill into law, a record-breaking 37,000 people contacted the governor and 86% of them asked him to veto the bill.

Idaho school administrators, trustees, and concerned citizens have called attention to the fact that vouchers will drain funds from public education at a time when Idaho faces an $82 million shortfall in annual funding for special education and an $8 billion shortfall in funds needed to repair crumbling school buildings.

Here’s the most dangerous part: The special-interest groups promoting vouchers have made clear that the $50 million program is only the beginning. During next year’s legislative session, they intend to remove the $50-million cap and expand the program to all private-school families, including the wealthy, at an estimated cost of $339 million per year.

Such a massive expansion of vouchers would bankrupt Idaho and drain millions from public schools. For the benefit of a small number of private-school families, voucher expansion would defund the public education system that serves 94% of Idaho’s kids.

Please sign the petition and demand that NOT A DOLLAR MORE of public funds go to private schools.
