Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                             
                   STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                       R.S. 10631
                            
The purpose of this legislation is to amend Section 33-5211, Idaho Code, to revise
the information which the State Department of Education must distribute upon
request and to amend Section 33-52 12, Idaho Code, to provide that the State
Board of Education may review the educational effectiveness of charter schools
and report to the Legislature. The reason for this legislation is that lending
institutions are reluctant to loan money for facilities when the current law provides
a perception that charter schools may not operate beyond 2004.











                     FISCAL  IMPACT
                            
There is no significant fiscal impact as a result of this legislation. Some slight
fiscal savings might be realized due to the permissive language with respect to
reports.
