EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding Idaho Digital Learning Academy funding.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation makes changes to the funding formula for the Idaho Digital Learning Academy (IDLA), emphasizing its core mission of being a gap filler in our public school system. It addresses concerns about students being double funded in specific situations, overuse by certain schools and students, elementary school programs, driver’s education costs, private school, homeschool, and virtual school program use, and alignment with the statewide general fund cut. It allows districts to pay directly for IDLA enrollments in those situations in which the state will no longer pay. The total fiscal impact of this bill is intended to address the cut proposed in the governor's recommended budget.
