AI Summary
This bill addresses funding and operational aspects of the Idaho Digital Learning Academy (IDLA) for fiscal year 2026. The legislation appropriates an additional $3,577,600 to the IDLA from the Public School Income Fund, with a corresponding transfer from the General Fund. The bill restricts withdrawals from the Public Education Stabilization Fund for IDLA services during the 2024-2025 period and requires IDLA to rely on existing cash balances for any costs exceeding the appropriation. Importantly, the bill reduces the tuition charged by IDLA to school districts and charter schools from $75 to $40 per enrollment and increases the per-enrollment funding from $430 to $445. The legislation also mandates that IDLA provide a comprehensive report by August 1, 2025, detailing the cost of services, budgeting methodology, and enrollment data. The report aims to help the Legislature verify and potentially modify the funding process for IDLA in future sessions. The bill includes provisions for IDLA to continue providing remedial coursework and advanced opportunities like dual credit courses, and it declares an emergency, making the act effective immediately upon the start of fiscal year 2026.
