COEUR D ALENE, Idaho (AP) The Idaho Attorney General s office says a northern Idaho school district was within its rights to remove an electioneering demonstrator from elementary school property on Election Day.
In a legal analysis released Thursday, Deputy Attorney General Robert Berry wrote that schools may control their property even when it is being used as a polling place, the Coeur d Alene Press reported.
“Idaho law requires schools to provide their premises as polling locations,” Berry wrote. “However, public schools are not traditional public forums. Schools may control their property while it is being used as a polling place, and may exclude individuals from school property not involved in the voting process.
