But a lot of it has to do with the money. When the small group trying to close the school had supporters in JFAQ (Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee), it seemed like the money never really came in. It seemed like it all went to Boise. |
It was a relatively small group that orchestrated the campaign to shut the school down. They tried and tried, but they couldn't find a governor who would do it ... that is, until they found Governor Jordan. |
It's getting harder to learn about these things because there are so few of them left. It won't be too long before there aren't any alumni around to talk about it. |
One of the big things that Boise seemed to have a problem with at this school. Was that we were paying to teach all these teachers, but they were going to other states because of better pay and what not. |
They say some of these are the same problems with our schools today. It's similar to what's going on with the colleges right now. |
