Nampa charter school meets most concerns of state panel

Idaho Statesman: “[S]ome information sought by the commission was not provided, the result of differing legal opinions between attorneys for the commission and the school . . . From its founding last year, the classical academy included the Bible, Quran and Book of Mormon among 137 books listed in the school’s core reading list. Board members said the books would be used for secular history and literature lessons, not religious teaching. But the charter commission and attorney general’s office contend those plans violate the state constitution, and the Alliance Defense Fund filed a federal lawsuit on the school’s behalf in September.”
