REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30116 / H0113
This legislation allows charter school authorizers to consider the student body make up of a charter school
during the certification and recertification process. It also clarifies that: an entity that does not charge a fee
is not considered an education services provider; a charter school can work with a comprehensive education
services provider, and a provision in a contract between a charter school and a vender that requires the vendor
to forgive the debt of the school is beneficial to the school's financial stability. Finally, it allows local school
districts to authorize virtual charter schools.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact as much of the legislation allows for the continuation of what has been occurring in
Idaho for approximately 20 years, and the language creates flexibility for charter school authorizers to make
decisions rather than create new programs or mandates requiring funds or extra personnel.
