What can parents expect from the IEN?
The IEN was designed to break down geographic and economic barriers between rural and urban communities. Through IEN, every public school in every community will be connected to all Idaho colleges and universities as well as the other K-12 public schools in the state. Parents can expect their children to receive the same educational opportunities as other students across Idaho, such as the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. IEN will eliminate the digital divide in rural Idaho. Additionally, younger students will benefit from the access to virtual field trips, virtual tours, and other courses and curriculum offered via IEN.
