EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the math and science requirement.
H 318 revises Idaho's funding formula for high school math and science courses, directly affecting public high schools (grades 9-12) statewide. It changes how state funds are distributed to school districts to hire additional math/science teachers or cover course costs, based on school enrollment size. Smaller schools (under 100 students) receive funding equivalent to 1.25 staff positions, while larger schools (160-639 students) get funding for 0.75 instructional staff positions. The bill aims to ensure equitable resource allocation for math and science education across varying school sizes. It becomes effective July 1, 2025.
