EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to provide for weighting in a public charter school's lottery for certain disadvantaged students.

EDUCATION

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Idaho public charter schools accept all students. Some public charter schools have programs designed to serve English language learners, students who are homeless or in foster care, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students or at-risk students. To help those students access these education programs, this legislation allows public charter schools to give additional weight in their student enrollment lottery to those groups of students, if they choose.
