Providing for the Idaho Community with Amber Ford
Amber Ford is the Co-President of the Vallivue Education Association, commonly referred to as the “Teachers Union.” Every year, the VEA hosts Vallivue Back to School Fair where parents and students come from the entire Treasure Valley to receive free back to school supplies, sports physicals, vision and hearing checks, middle school uniforms, haircuts, and so much more. This is a free event to families, regardless of district registration, that the Education Association provides. Amber and I also spoke on Vallivue’s progressive and evolving tech policy as Vallivue has not only gotten tough on cell phones but is also requiring one day a week to be school tech free to address student tech burnout, over reliance, and other more severe problems. There are great things happening with these education leaders. Enjoy!
