APPROPRIATIONS – PUBLIC SCHOOLS – DIVISION OF STUDENT SUPPORT – Relates to the appropriation to the Public Schools Educational Support Program’s Division of Student Support for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

This bill appropriates $24.685 million for Idaho's Public Schools Educational Support Program's Division of Student Support for fiscal years 2025-2026, funding operations and children's programs. It reduces school program funding by $17.1979 million from the Public School Income Fund and transfers that exact amount to the General Fund. The bill also amends salary rules to increase minimum base pay for administrative staff starting July 1, 2025, and requires districts to pay national board-certified teachers an additional $2,000 annually. These changes directly affect Idaho public school districts and their funding allocations for student support services.
