STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27533 / S1285
The purpose of this legislation is to leverage existing allocated funds to build the capacity of our school boards
in Idaho public schools. Effective school leadership is second only to the quality of classroom instruction in
improving student achievement. This legislation requires school board members to receive initial and biennial
professional development training. As a result this training, board members will increase the effectiveness of
the time they serve and will be more focused on student achievement.
FISCAL NOTE
The activity will further utilize previously allocated funds identified in Idaho Code § 33-320. Therefore, no
additional funding is required and no impact to the General Fund.
