▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation modernizes Idaho’s K-12 school funding formula by adding an Outcomes-Based Funding component. It provides a funding framework for school districts and public charter schools to receive funding aligned with statewide student achievement goals, specifically growth and proficiency targets for math (grades 5 through 8) and attaining college and career readiness credentials. This is an important shift in school funding, moving from paying exclusively for inputs and including a component that pays for student growth and achievement.

▶ Show fiscal note

This Outcomes-Based Funding component is subject to appropriation and is accounted for in the Governor’s FY 2026 K-12 budget at $35 million.
