STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
This Joint Resolution amends the Idaho Constitution in Section 9, Article IX. It places in the constitution a right of custodial parents and guardians to cause their children to be privately educated or to choose to privately home educate their children free from government regulation of such private education. This amendment should not be construed to prohibit requirements attached to the receipt of public funds or requirements for participation in public education. The rights recognized in this constitutional amendment are already well established in Idaho Code, and this resolution preserves those rights for generations to come by a constitutional amendment.
