Amends existing law to increase the public school funding formula for college and career advisors.

This legislation would amend 33-1002(2)(r), Idaho Code to increase the minimum distribution for the public schools educational support program for counseling support as provided for in section 33-1212A, Idaho Code. The Joint Finance and Appropriation Committee this year is recommending a $2,000,000, or 40 percent, increase in this appropriation, and this legislation would give a commensurate increase to the minimum distribution. The minimum would increase from $10,000 to $14,000 for school districts and charter schools with 100 or more students in grades 8 through 12, and increase from $5,000 to $7,000 for school districts and charters schools with fewer than 100 students.
