STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28367C1 / H0175
This legislation would help ensure that Idaho’s constitutional mandate to provide a thorough education is met by
providing students with access to in-person instruction where safety requirements can be developed at the local
level. Research shows that most students, particularly those with special needs and elementary students, learn
best when in person, in a structured setting. School districts should attempt, to the greatest extent practical, to
provide in-person instruction to any student whose needs would best be met in that manner.
