A Boise State University attorney and administrator will take the reins at the State Board of Education. On Thursday, Gov. Brad Little named Jennifer White the State Board’s new executive director, replacing Joshua Whitworth. This will be the second leadership change in 10 months at the State Board, a policymaking panel with far-reaching influence over K-12 and higher education in Idaho. Whitworth, who took over as executive director in July, is leaving for a job in the private sector.
