Bill > H0293

This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to provide for reimbursement to parents for certain eligible education expenses if their child's school district or public charter school does not provide full-time, in-person instruction for at least four days per week during the school year. Eligible expenses include computer hardware, internet access, private school tuition, tutoring, instructional materials, and certain therapies. The reimbursement amount is based on the average state funds appropriated per student during the previous school year, and the bill specifies how the funds must be used and returned if not fully utilized. The bill also includes an emergency clause to take effect immediately and a provision to sunset the reimbursement program on July 1, 2022.
