BOISE (IdahoEdNews.org) — The Senate Education Committee killed a bill that would have given money to parents who withdrew children from school districts that did not offer full-time face-to-face learning.
Even before Monday’s divided Senate vote, Rep. Codi Galloway’s proposal has been contentious.
Galloway, R-Boise, argues the bill is intended to encourage districts to reopen full-time after COVID-19 forced many into remote or hybrid learning, and to help parents afford an alternative if districts were not open at least four days a week. If a parent chose to withdraw their student from school because learning was not in-person, state funding for that student would have been withheld from the former district and given to the parent instead, to seek a different educational option.
