Idaho State Funding

Idaho’s Safe and Drug-Free Schools funding is administered by the Idaho Department of Education to help school districts and public charter schools support student safety, substance-abuse prevention, and healthier school environments.

The program uses a formula-based allocation. According to the Idaho Department of Education, funding includes a base amount for each district and public charter school, plus an additional prorated amount based on the prior year’s average daily attendance.

Funds may be used for substance-abuse prevention and school safety improvements. Supported activities may include bullying, violence, drug and alcohol prevention, emergency operations planning, crisis prevention, school-safety planning, staff training, and other initiatives that promote safer and more supportive learning environments
