EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to provide for the Adult Alternative Instructional Diploma Program and the Adult Alternative Instructional Diploma Program Grant Fund.

This bill establishes Idaho's Adult Alternative Instructional Diploma Program to help adults aged 21+ without high school diplomas earn accredited diplomas while developing job skills. It creates requirements for qualified providers (like nonprofits or accredited schools) to offer career-focused coursework, employability certifications, and workforce credential preparation. The state will reimburse providers $733 per high school credit completed by students, with providers required to report graduation rates and student outcomes annually. A dedicated fund (33-919) will finance this pilot program, using legislative appropriations to support diploma issuance for eligible Idaho residents. The program aims to recognize these diplomas as equivalent to traditional high school diplomas within Idaho.
