"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Nearly 1,300 Idaho teachers left the profession in 2011, up from about 700 the year before.

More than half of the educators who abandoned teaching last year left for "personal reasons," according to data from the state Department of Education.

School districts reported another 96 teachers were fired and 85 were laid off in 2011, which is about the same as the previous year. The remaining 579 educators left to continue their education or because of military and family obligations. Other reasons included death, leave of absences or a spousal transfer.
