As Trump supporters organize a rally in Boise for Saturday, Oct. 16, city leaders are asking counter-protesters to not engage with any taunting or fighting. The West Ada School District is battling multiple fires at once, teaching during a global pandemic, Ada County going down to the red category of COVID-19 transmission, and a network that hasn't been through enough stress tests to go fully remote. After teachers forced the district to cancel all classes on Monday in response to a planned "sick-out" day, parents in the district are growing upset and frustrated with the board not sticking with its original playbook for being in the red category and so much more.
