SENATE BILL 1359
RS31332 / S1359
This legislation amends Idaho code section 33-4602 to increase the amount of advanced opportunity funds per public school student by $500, from $4,125 to $4,625 to assist students who are working to achieve an associate degree while still in high school through the attainment of dual credits. There are just under 600 students who have maxed out their advanced opportunity funding. This legislation also removes the restrictive expenditure caps on CTE workforce training courses.
This legislation amends Idaho code section 33-4603 to increase the amount of advanced opportunity funds per non-public school student from by $1,750, from $750 to $2,500 and modifies the payment structure to allow for the State Department of Education to pay the Idaho higher education institutions directly for dual credit courses taken by non-public students. There are just under 300 non-public students participating in this program.
