Bill > S1324

This bill adds a new section to existing law to establish the Idaho Promise Mentor Program. The program aims to fill vacant, skilled, and well-paying jobs by creating a pathway to career-ready programs and credentials for Idaho high school students, recent graduates, veterans, and other adults. The bill outlines the purpose, definitions, and objectives of the mentor program, which include raising awareness about educational and financial resources, increasing the relevance of high school learning plans, and collecting data for program evaluation and return on investment analysis. The program will be administered by the State Board of Education and will collaborate with various stakeholders. The bill also includes an emergency clause, making it effective immediately upon passage and approval.
