Awards Form
Hello Idaho Ag Teachers,
As we get closer to Summer Inservice, I wanted to share a few important updates and reminders.
Schedule
The current conference schedule can be found here:
2026 Summer Inservice Schedule
Please note that this is a live document and will continue to be updated as final details are confirmed. We will once again include QR codes in your conference folders for easy access to the most current schedule throughout the event. Printed copies will also be available.
Workshop Selections
We have added several additional workshop options, so the workshop selection form has been reopened. Even if you have already completed the form, I would appreciate it if everyone could take a moment to double-check their selections and make any desired changes by June 11 at 11:59 PM.

Campus Access & Parking
We have received mixed information regarding construction in the parking lot. Three weeks ago, we were informed that the lot would be under construction during the conference; however, that is now uncertain. To be safe, please plan for a possible alternate walking route to the Career Technical Center (CTE) building.
If the parking lot is unavailable, you will use the same general walking path as usual, but instead of heading directly across the lot, you will take a left at the baseball field and remain on the sidewalk until you reach the CTE building.
I've attached a map showing the alternate route, as well as a campus map identifying the various buildings that will be used for workshops and sessions.
Room maps will be printed and in your folders when you arrive.
Door Prizes
If you are bringing a door prize donation, we will collect those prior to the first general session on Tuesday morning.
One More Favor
I know the listserv doesn't always reach everyone consistently. Board members, I would appreciate your help sharing this information with your regions. Everyone else, please check in with your ag teacher friends and make sure they have seen these updates.
We look forward to hosting everyone in Meridian next week and can't wait to see you all for three days of learning, networking, tours, and idea sharing.
Safe travels,
McKenna Ford and the Meridian Crew
