- Idaho's new trespassing law was one of the most contreversial bills of the 2017-18 legislative session. It increased the penalties for trespassing on private property and changed the codification of signage. We'll parse out the bill and look at other new laws going into effect from the previous session.
- Idaho students saw an improvement in scores on the state's standardized test over the previous year. In the same period, college entrance exam test scores took a dip. We'll look at why we're seeing disparities in test scores for Idaho high schoolers.
- Last month, St. Luke's Mountain States Tumor Institute performed Idaho's first allogeneic stem cell transplant. The technique involves the transplanting of stem cells from a donor's bone marrow to a recipient, in this case a leukemia patient. We'll speak with a St. Luke's oncologist about the procedure.
