RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS -- Amends existing law to require accredited residential schools to make reports required by the Department of Education and to retain them under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health and Welfare.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Amend Section 39-1207, Idaho Code to update the language regarding secondary school accreditation of residential schools. Section 39-1207, Idaho Code pertains to the Child Care Licensing Reform Act. Currently Section 39-1207, Idaho Code contains technical errors regarding the process for accrediting secondary schools. Additionally, this section puts accredited residential schools under the jurisdiction of the State Board and Department of Education. The proposed amendment corrects the technical errors and treats accredited residential schools in the same manner as non-accredited residential schools, leaving them under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health and Welfare.
