Bill Offers $1.4M For Charter Facilities

The bill would provide $1.4 million to offset charter schools facility costs.

Now that the legislation has been introduced, a full public hearing one the charter school proposal will likely occur in the coming days or weeks/ Kevin Richert , IdahoED News. More here.
