Bill Summary
EDUCATION -- Adds to existing law to provide for the self-directed learner designation.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to Idaho's education laws to provide for the "self-directed learner" designation. A self-directed learner is a student who demonstrates mastery of content, academic growth, and progress towards post-secondary goals. The bill allows school districts to establish policies for designating students as self-directed, providing them with flexible learning opportunities, and revoking the designation if the student fails to meet agreed-upon criteria. Self-directed learners will be counted as full-time enrolled students for funding purposes, even if they do not attend school for the full day. The bill also requires school districts to report the number of self-directed learners annually to the state Department of Education.
