STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27159
This is an FY 2020 trailer appropriation bill for the Superintendent of Public Instruction. It addresses the
fiscal impact of H93aaS, which amended Idaho Code to allow school districts and charter schools to enter
into agreements with nontraditional teacher preparation programs to help recruit, select, train, and retain
teachers for hard-to-fill positions. The bill also makes such programs eligible for state funding if they provide
matching private dollars and demonstrate that their teachers achieve above-average academic growth from
students.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill provides an additional appropriation of $200,000 in ongoing operating expenditures from the
General Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for FY 2020.
