▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation amends Idaho Code 33-1021 and provides additional funds to small schools. These funds provided to small schools supports them in hiring additional high school math and science teachers or cover related costs for supporting students in those subjects. It is updating the allocation for schools with a student enrollment between 100 and 319, as current law only provides a fraction of a classified position (1/9 or 2/7) and is insufficient for hiring additional teachers or covering course expenses.

▶ Show fiscal note

Using the FY 2024 distribution, this would cost approximately $2.75 million from the general fund.
