STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 17865 This legislation makes a technical correction to Idaho Code. When the State Board of Education removed the requirement that Idaho's public elementary schools be accredited, it had an unintended impact on teachers teaching in those elementary schools. Under Idaho Code, as currently written, teachers receive an additional salary multiplier of 3.75% for each year that they teach in an "accredited" public school, up to a maximum of 13 years. Since elementary schools are no longer accredited, this means that elementary school teachers would not receive their annual salary multiplier increase for teaching an additional year. This legislation corrects this unintended impact. FISCAL NOTE Since the Public Schools budget already includes base funding for the additional years of experience earned by elementary school teachers, there is no additional fiscal impact as a result of this legislation.
