Adds to existing law to establish the Quality Educator Loan Assistance Program.

This bill establishes the Quality Educator Loan Assistance Program to provide loan repayment assistance, eligibility, award criteria and protocols in order address the serious teacher shortage in Idaho as identified by the Idaho State Department of Education. Because attracting Certified Instructional and Pupil Service Staff to work in rural school districts and communities with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students is becoming increasingly difficult, this bill will provide additional incentive to keep qualified teachers in those communities.
