Funded by the Idaho State Board of Education, in partnership with all eight public postsecondary institutions, the Idaho Academic Leadership Academy (IALA) will bring together 32 faculty participants from across the state for a week-long intensive professional development experience.

Idaho Code §33-113 charges the Board to define the limits of all public instruction to assure that educational needs are met and in a manner that prevents duplication of services.

Idaho Code 33-101 provides that the State Board of Education has constitutional general supervision and governance of public postsecondary institutions.
