Organizers of the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge announced that the race is coming to an end, student graduation rates have plateaued and our reporters look ahead and offer predictions for the coming week's news cycle.

It’s Friday, which means it's time for our Reporter Roundtable when Idaho Matters gets you up to date on all the news that made headlines this past week.
