Idaho Education
News, an online news operation funded by a grant from the J.A. & Kathryn
Albertson Foundation, has hired Post Register statehouse
reporter Clark Corbin and Idaho Statesman editorial page editor Kevin
Richert.
Jennifer Swindell, a former
Statesman staffer, is the editor of idahoednews.org, the newest venture for the Idaho Leads Project,
which up to now has focused on finding and highlighting “best practices”
at Idaho school districts.

The project, which is under BSU’s Center for
School Improvement & Policy Studies, received an 18-month $3.85
million grant from the Albertson Foundation, according to
its website.
According to a press release, its goals are to “support and enhance the advancement of educational
improvement and reform in Idaho, and second, to share, in an easily
accessible manner, best practices to all interested districts, schools
and charters.”
The Web site’s articles are free to
all users and available for distribution on other platforms or Web sites
so long as proper attribution is included.
Richert, who worked for the Post Register in the '80s and '90s, has a
farewell blog post here at the Statesman's Web site.
As a footnote, I've played softball with Clark and whiffleball with Kevin. Both of them have mean arms. I wish them well.
