STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30982 / H0422
The Accelerating Public Charter Schools Act updates Idaho’s Charter School laws. In 1998, the Idaho
Legislature passed the Idaho Charter School law to allow charter schools to operate in Idaho. Idaho now has
74 charter schools serving 10% or approximately 30,000 children. While there have been several amendments
to the charter school laws over the years, nothing substantial has been introduced to incorporate the majority
of what we have learned in the past 26 years. This legislation does that.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no negative fiscal impact as the legislation can be implemented with existing programs and current
personnel.
