House Bill No. 123 Summary

• Amends Section 33-1002 of Idaho Code governing the Educational Support Program calculation for public schools.

• Revises the computation of kindergarten support units by removing the requirement that kindergarten programs operating less than a full school year have support unit allowances reduced proportionally to the number of days operated.

• Allows school districts to expend kindergarten support unit funds for kindergarten programs or for other uses as determined by the district's board of trustees, providing greater flexibility in fund allocation.

• Adds a $300 per support unit allocation for provisions that provide a safe environment conducive to student learning and maintain classroom discipline.
