Kuna School Board publicly comes out against CDH proposal to stop high school sports.
“It is very difficult for us to explain to our children and our parents why bars can be open but healthy, engaging activities such as athletics and music are off-limits.”

"Yelling, screaming and berating the officials humiliates your child, annoys those sitting around you, embarrasses your child’s school and is the primary reason Idaho has an alarming shortage of high school officials."

But please remember your community does not begin and end at your parent email list.
Local reporters are fighting a wild amount of misinformation. We need your help in combatting it.

"As a community, we had all summer to get these numbers down & to get these numbers into a safe place that we could offer in-person learning & get our kids back into school. But unfortunately, as a community, we were not able to do that."

The following fans are at every HS varsity basketball game ever played: 3 seconds guy, follow your shot guy, call it both ways guy & over the back guy. Plus a mom yelling at her kid to shoot every time her son touches the ball. And there are at least two of each at every JV game.
“We’re not undefeated without

Running for 310 yards in a state championship will do that.

Who brings a CAT to a football game? Haha. What strange times we live in.
