Amends existing law to provide for reimbursement for parents or legal guardians for costs related to self-directed learner students.

The self-directed student statute allows motivated students who have good grades, know their math facts, demonstrate good citizenship, and have completed a student learning plan defined in section 33 1001 (30), Idaho Code to engage in enhancement or alternative activities. The proposed change to the self-directed learner statute would provide families with financial support for those alternative learning activities. The current statute does not expressly allow districts to reimburse families for expenses associate with those activities. By making this change, teachers and parents can work together to develop a plan to support students' education outside of the traditional classroom and provide funds to support these plans.
