RS30708 / H0353

This is the FY 2024 Original Appropriation Bill and FY 2023 Supplemental Appropriation Bill for the State Department of Education. The State Department of Education is an executive agency of the State Board of Education and is established pursuant to Section 33-125, Idaho Code. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction serves as the executive officer of the department and has the responsibility for carrying out policies, procedures, and duties authorized by law or established by the board for all elementary and secondary school matters.

For FY 2024, the bill provides for an additional staff to assist schools and families with navigating school choices, a position for workforce development and community partnerships, and an additional financial specialist to assist with financial work for the department and to assist public schools. The bill also includes onetime funding to account for the newly required dyslexia training and support that was approved in H731 (2022). Finally, the bill provides for a transfer of three positions to the Board of Education for IT support.

For FY 2023, the bill provides staffing and support for dyslexia training and to account for vacation payouts of former staff; vacation payouts were handled from existing appropriations for a net-zero impact.
