Operative words

The Idaho Back to School Framework outlines the expectations, support for local governance and decision-making, and guidance and best practices on the key operational components for safe reopening in the fall. The 2020-2021 school year certainly will not look the same as in previous years. However, we must prioritize the opening of school buildings for in-person instruction and prepare schools to offer different kinds of learning... Disclaimer: The Idaho Back to School Framework provides expectations, guidelines and best practices to ensure a safe and successful 2020-2021 school year. This document is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party

Enforcement

Advisory framework adopted by the supervising Board; operative force ran through the local boards' reopening plans, the public health districts' orders (e.g., Central District Health orders, Exs. ID-024, ID-025) and the Board's supervision under Idaho Code s. 33-116

Notes

Graded as an expectations framework (its own disclaimer denies enforceable rights); cited for the Board's category-based reopening structure and for the operational modifications it expected of every Idaho school in 2020-21; the release Ex. 006 records the Board's approval

Retrieval note

Governor's letter and contents read; 33-page framework (amended 10/21/20 version). it is not itself an order, rule, directive, resolution or condition of a license or contract. Cite it as context and cite the underlying order or statute as the instrument).
