Charter school funding
EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding public charter school financial support, charter school authorizers, and eligibility of school districts for School Modernization Facilities Fund distributions and to require Senate approval of a certain Board of Education gubernatorial appointment.

RS31685C3 / H0745

This legislation amends HB 422 to restore public charter school facility funds to what they were prior to the unanticipated reductions resulting from funding formulas impacted by the passage of HB 292 in 2023. It also specifies that virtual charter schools created in the future are not eligible for these funds, and resolves a conflict within Section 33-5209A, Idaho Code.
