STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30730 / S1205
This is the FY 2024 original appropriation bill for the Public Schools Educational Support Program's Division
of Teachers.
This division provides state and federal funding support for grades K-12 for instructional and pupil service staff
salaries and benefits, and other programs specific to certificated instructors in Idaho's school districts and public
charter schools.
This bill provides statutory-based funding adjustments for the Career Ladder, Master Educator Premiums, and
math and science requirements. This bill also includes funding for professional development services including
for dyslexia. Finally, this bill provides the funding and authority to allocate and distribute an additional $6,359
for each allocated teacher and pupil service staff. The intent of these funds is for ongoing compensation and
not for onetime bonuses. However, each school district and charter school is responsible for setting their own
salary schedules; Idaho Code only provides for minimum compensation amounts.
