HOUSE BILL 268
RS30472 / H0268
The legislation specifies the frequency and type of school board training required, to help ensure trustees and charter school directors provide effective oversight while reflecting the needs and priorities of their local communities. The primary goal of the legislation is to build school board capacity and drive continued student achievement in Idaho schools. Boards properly trained to review and discuss student achievement data provide the accountability needed to ensure schools offer quality learning opportunities for all students.
Currently, $652,000 is allocated to schools for administrator and board training. The State Department of Education requested an additional $848,000 to bring the total to $1.5 million to cover the updates in this legislation.
