STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30716 / S1207
This is the FY 2024 original appropriation bill for the Public Schools Educational Support Program's Division
of Children's Programs.
This division includes programs that provide direct educational or material benefits to children, where funding
does not primarily go to paying certificated teachers and administrators. It also includes programs that
specifically provide funding for the separate instruction of identified subgroups of children outside the normal
classroom of an Idaho public school. Funding is provided from both state and federal funds. This bill includes
adjustments for advanced opportunities, the Idaho Digital Learning Academy, and safe and drug free schools.
The bill restores content and curriculum funding and removes mastery-based education funding to offset costs
for dyslexia training. From federal COVID-19 relief funds, this bill includes funding for ESSER II, and III;
support for homeless children; and special education support.
