Education funding
EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise the minimum and maximum distribution amounts for school districts from the School Modernization Facilities Fund and to revise provisions regarding a school district’s eligibility to receive such funds.

RS31705 / S1438

This legislation is a trailer bill to H 521 that would do two things. This legislation would amend the Fixed Distribution section of the School Modernization Facilities Fund in Idaho Code 33-915 by raising the minimum distribution to $100,000 and cap the maximum distribution at $100M. This legislation delays implementation of the 5-day/4-day provision found in 33-916(2) until July 1, 2025. This provides the legislature, State Board of Education and school districts more time to promulgate consensus-based implementation.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government, therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
