School boards, libraries
EDUCATION – Amends existing law to provide that the boards of trustees of each school district shall have the discretion whether to establish school libraries and whether to decommission any school library that is not necessary.

RS31234 / H0635

This legislation amends Idaho Code, Section 33-512, to revise a provision regarding power of School Board Trustees within a school district, allowing the Board to determine whether to equip and maintain a library or libraries in any school or schools. Additionally, the Board may authorize any school under its authority to decommission any library that it determines is not necessary.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government. It may cause a positive impact on an individual school district's budget if they decide to no longer fund a library.
