NO. 1229 1 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3 2 On page 2 of the printed bill, in line 36, following " a " 3 insert: " public school teacher ". 4 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 7 5 On page 4, delete line 48 and insert: "school media specialist, one (1) 6 elementary public school teacher, and one (1) secondary public school 7 teacher.".
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 09103
The purpose of this legislation is to modify the membership and
clarify the duties of the Idaho Council for Technology in
Learning (ICTL). The bill changes the membership of the
committee and allows the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
the Governor and the State Board of Education to appoint
various members. Four members of the Legislature, two from the
House and two from the Senate are also members. The bill then
clarifies that the ICTL will be the technology advisory body to
the State Board of Education for both K-12 education and higher
education, instead of its current role of specializing in K-12
technology. The final change is to establish standing
committees of ICTL, one to specialize in K-12 and the other to
specialize in higher education and other matters, to report and
advise the ICTL on its various duties.
FISCAL NOTE
The fiscal impact of the present Idaho Council for Technology
in Learning is $140,000.00 annually. With the passage of this
Legislation, the new ICTL budget would require an additional
$39,000.00 per year. This would increase a .5 secretary to full
time and pay expenses for the additional subcommittees.
Total annual budget would be $173,000.00. The funds are taken
from the ICTL budget and would not affect the General Fund.
