Bill Summary

EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to provide for weighting in a public charter school's lottery for certain disadvantaged students.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to allow public charter schools to weight their lottery admission process to prioritize certain educationally disadvantaged students, such as those living at or below 185% of the federal poverty level, students who are homeless or in foster care, students with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency, and at-risk students as defined in Idaho law. This provision gives these disadvantaged students a better chance of being selected in the charter school's lottery system for admission.
