AI Summary
This bill establishes the Adult Alternative Instructional Diploma Program in Idaho, designed to help adults 21 years and older obtain a high school diploma and develop career skills. The program allows qualified providers (such as accredited public, nonprofit, or other entities with at least two years of adult dropout recovery experience) to offer educational services, including academic assessments, personalized learning plans, literacy and numeracy remediation, employability skills certification, career pathway courses, and workforce credential preparation. The state board of education will reimburse providers $733 per credit completed by a student and requires providers to report detailed student outcomes, including credits earned and diplomas awarded. A new fund will be created in the state treasury to support this pilot program, with moneys coming from legislative appropriations and interest earnings. Providers must meet specific criteria, including maintaining a minimum 50% graduation rate, and will be evaluated and potentially removed from the approved list if they do not meet standards for two consecutive years. The program aims to help adults improve their educational and employment prospects by providing a pathway to earn a recognized high school diploma and develop important career skills.
