AI Summary

  • Establishes a fixed funding amount of $430 per enrollment for the Idaho Digital Learning Academy, distributed from the educational support program appropriation.

  • Defines "enrollment" as each instance an Idaho school-age child enrolls in an Idaho digital learning academy class and remains enrolled past the withdrawal deadline without it appearing on their transcript; a single child in multiple classes counts as multiple enrollments.

  • Requires the state department of education to distribute 80% of estimated fiscal year funding by July 31 and the remaining balance by May 15, with reconciliation of actual enrollments and authority to withhold or recover funds as needed.

  • Directs the joint finance-appropriations committee to consider adjusting the per-enrollment amount each legislative session by the same percentage increase approved for instructional, pupil service, administrative, and classified staff salary increases.

  • Takes effect as an emergency measure on July 1, 2024.
