HOUSE BILL 386
Public charter schools
CHARTER SCHOOLS – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to establish the Accelerating Public Charter Schools Act.
RS30856 / H0386
The Accelerating Public Charter Schools Act updates Idaho’s Charter School laws. In 1998, the Idaho Legislature passed the Idaho Charter School law to allow charter schools to operate in Idaho. Idaho now has 74 charter schools serving 10% or approximately 30,000 children. While there have been several amendments to the charter school laws over the years, nothing substantial has been introduced to incorporate the majority of what we have learned in the past 26 years. This legislation does that.
There is no negative fiscal impact as the legislation can be implemented with existing programs and current personnel.
