This bill amends Chapter 10, Title 33 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 33-1035, which establishes strict guidelines for the use of funds distributed by the State Department of Education to school districts and public charter schools. The new section mandates that any funds specifically allocated for a designated purpose must be used solely for that purpose. If a school district or public charter school misuses these funds, they are required to reimburse the state, with the misused amount being deducted from future state payments if reimbursement is not made.
Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislation aims to ensure accountability in the use of educational funds and to protect the integrity of state funding by enforcing strict compliance with designated allocations.
