Bill > H0876

This bill appropriates funds to the State Board of Education for fiscal year 2027, allocating money to various educational entities including the Agricultural Research and Extension Service, colleges and universities, community colleges, the Office of the State Board of Education, health education programs, career technical education, Idaho Public Television, special programs, the Department of Education, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Charter School Commission. It also authorizes a specific number of full-time equivalent positions for certain programs, exempts some entities from limitations on transferring funds between expense classes and programs, allows for the reappropriation of unexpended dedicated funds from fiscal year 2026 for nonrecurring expenditures, and provides for systemwide needs and voluntary separation incentive plans for colleges and universities. Additionally, it addresses student tuition and fees for health education programs, grants continuous appropriation authority for Idaho Public Television from private donations, and mandates data sharing between the Department of Education and the Legislative Services Office for accountability purposes.
