EDUCATION – Amends existing law to provide for outcomes-based funding.
This bill (S 1147) is a technical correction measure, not an actual outcomes-based funding law. It amends multiple Idaho Code sections to define educational terms (like "at-risk student" and "average daily attendance") and correct code references in existing education laws. The bill does not establish new funding mechanisms or change how schools receive funds - it only clarifies definitions used in current law. The title's reference to "outcomes-based funding" is misleading, as the bill contains no policy changes to funding formulas. It passed the Idaho Senate 22-13 on March 12, 2025, but primarily serves to update terminology and references.
