Required next actionKeep this canonical record in Draft. The Idaho State Board page and live Reviewr portal agree on eligibility, the $1,000 non-matching request ceiling, and the August 31-September 30, 2026 submission period, but they conflict on the grant-period start date (State Board: November 2, 2026; Reviewr: November 1, 2026). The public sources also do not publish an exact closing clock time or time zone. Do not initiate ORIGINAL outreach or package work until the controlling grant-period date and any submission cutoff time/time zone are authoritatively resolved.
Broad Eligibility
Idaho rural school districts and rural charter schools as defined in Idaho Code § 33-319. One application per district or charter; applications must be submitted by district or charter leadership, and individual-teacher applications without leadership endorsement are ineligible.
