STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS26806
This legislation modifies Title 33 to clarify that career technical education includes all secondary,
postsecondary, and adult courses, programs, training and services, irrespective of instructional delivery
method. This bill clarifies that virtual Career Technical Education (CTE) programs which meet the same
quality requirements and demonstrate compliance with the Idaho CTE Initiative may be authorized by
Idaho CTE. This modernizes CTE language to include all instructional delivery methods and better
positions Idaho to meet demands of modern-day workforce.
FISCAL NOTE
Idaho CTE Reimbursement for one Business Program FTE = $9876. The fiscal impact will depend on the
number of participating virtual schools. There are currently 7 virtual schools. If each school took advantage
of this opportunity and deployed one Business Program FTE, it would result in an impact of $69,132 for one
program in each of the seven schools. $9876 is the same fiscal impact that would occur if a traditional high
school started a new business program with one FTE.
