EDUCATION – Amends existing law to transfer responsibility to the State Board of Education for distributing certain moneys to reimburse school districts for the cost of internet and certain other services.

Idaho's S 1091 transfers responsibility for distributing state funds to reimburse school districts for internet and certain service costs from the State Department of Education to the State Board of Education. The bill modifies Idaho Code §33-5605 to require the State Board of Education to manage these reimbursements using a methodology established by the Education Opportunity Resource Committee. School districts directly affected will now receive funding through this new process for eligible internet and service expenses. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, after being signed by the governor on March 19, 2025.
