Here’s the statement from Tom Luna on the failure of Propositions 1, 2, and 3<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI still believe that Idahoans want better schools through education reform. I still believe that empowering local school boards, phasing out tenure, giving parents input on evaluations, helping students take dual credit, paying teachers for more than just years of experience and amount of education, and making sure every classroom is a 21st<\/sup>\u00a0Century Classroom are critical if we want an education system that meets the needs of every child. We have now had a 22-month discussion about what this should look like. I understand Idahoans have expressed concerns, yet I do not believe any Idahoan wants to go back to the status quo system we had two years ago. I am as committed as anyone to finding a way to make this happen. We must find a way because our children\u2019s future is at stake.\u201d – Tom Luna, Superintendent of Public Instruction<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter also released a written statement on the failure of Props 1, 2 and 3:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people have spoken, so I\u2019m not discouraged. That\u2019s how our system works. But it\u2019s important to remember that the public conversation that began almost two years ago isn\u2019t over \u2013 it\u2019s only begun. Our workforce, our communities and most of all our students still deserve better, and our resources are still limited. We offered these reforms not because we sought change for change\u2019s sake, but because change is needed to afford our young people the opportunities they deserve now and for decades to come. That\u2019s as true today as it was yesterday, so our work for a brighter and better future continues.\u201d – Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter<\/em>
