About Us

Idahoans for Local Education was founded in 2013 by Stephanie Zimmerman to fight for local control in education.

Our mission is to preserve Idaho’s local educational sovereignty by keeping the decision making close to home, where parents can make a difference.  We want to make sure that Idaho‘s education system has the highest standards so our children are given the ability to be anyone they want to be.    

Our Goal:  Stop Common Core!!!
