STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

and charter school directors provide effective oversight while reflecting the needs and priorities of their local
communities. The primary goal of the legislation is to build school board capacity and drive continued student
achievement in Idaho schools. Boards properly trained to review and discuss student achievement data provide
the accountability needed to ensure schools offer quality learning opportunities for all students.
FISCAL NOTE
Currently, $652,000 is allocated to schools for administrator and board training. The State Department of
Education requested an additional $848,000 to bring the total to $1.5 million to cover the updates in this
