EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to provide for outcomes-based funding.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide 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.
FISCAL NOTE
