| CO | Signed into law 05/2012 | P-12 | The bill extends the time for the notice from 3 to 4 months for a charter school to give notice of intent to apply for financial assistance through the building excellent schools today (BEST) program. The bill changes the factors that apply to charter school applicants. The amount of match moneys calculated for charter schools must be comparable to the amounts calculated for school districts in the same year. The bill creates the charter school matching moneys loan program to assist charter schools in obtaining up to 50% of the matching moneys required for financial assistance through the BEST program. To be eligible to participate, a charter school must qualify for payments from the state charter school debt reserve fund. An eligible charter school that participates in the loan program must comply with several requirements, including authorizing the state treasurer to withhold the amount of the loan payments from moneys otherwise payable to the charter school and putting 6 months of loan payments into escrow for the benefit of the state. The loans are funded through the lease-purchase agreements the state treasurer enters into for the charter schools' construction projects.

| ID | Signed into law 04/2012 | P-12 | The recent construction of a new elementary school in the Plummer-Worley School District
represents the first use of the state failsafe provided through HB 743 (2006), ensuring that no
child in Idaho will attend school in an unsafe facility. While the process worked successfully
and smoothly in this instance, it highlighted two issues that could become problems in future
cases. The first issue is that the state panel that is established to review these cases has no access
to funds if additional planning and design work must be completed prior to the panel making a
decision. The second is that there is no provision for dealing with construction cost overruns.
This legislation deals with the first issue by allowing the panel to expend up to $150,000 from a
dedicated funding source to develop additional plans, if necessary. The second issue is dealt with
by clarifying that the panel can request that the Legislature appropriate additional funds from the
same dedicated fund, in the event of construction cost overruns. http://legislature.idaho.gov/legislation/2012/H0633.pdf
