The primary funding for Idaho schools comes from the state’s general fund. The money, generated by the state sales tax, is allocated to school districts based on a complicated formula that includes the number of students who attend each school.
School districts also receive money from the federal government. That money is earmarked for specific programs and cannot be used for any other purpose. Programs include services for economically and educationally disadvantaged children, children from migrant families, children with special needs, the school lunch program and more.
In addition, school districts can ask patrons to approve special levies or bonds that generate money that pays for technology, school maintenance and repairs and staff and programs to enhance instruction. Learn more about District 91’s levies.
