The Idaho State Board of Education moved forward a petition Wednesday, December 21, that would expand the College of Southern Idaho’s footprint to another county.

More than 100 Elmore County voters signed a petition in August to make the county part of CSI’s taxing district – the threshold needed to kick off the process of becoming part of a community college district.

Right now, Twin Falls and Jerome are the only counties in CSI’s taxing district, but the college also has a presence in Burley, Gooding and Hailey.
