Learning opps, full-time
EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES – Amends existing law to limit applicability to full-time students.

RS29945C2 / S1015

Section 33-512D, Idaho Code, establishes provisions for Extended Learner programs in Idaho public schools. This program allows school districts and charter schools to identify eligible students as Extended Learners. Extended Learners are allowed to attend school on a flexible schedule and be reported as a full-time student in attendance each instruction day for public school funding purposes. While working through the reporting requirements for these students, Board staff identified an issue with the current program language that would allow part-time dual enrolled students who also met the student eligibility requirements to be reported as a full day of attendance or 1 FTE student enrollment for funding purposes. The proposed amendment would allow only students who attend public school "full-time" to be eligible for the program.
