How much does an Idaho private school bond cost?

The Idaho State Board of Education requires each proprietary school in the state to maintain a surety bond for the benefit of students. Bond amounts vary depending on the total amount of student tuition collected in the previous year and are subject to underwriting.

Why do I need a proprietary school bond in Idaho?

Idaho proprietary school bonds ensure that principals (proprietary schools) abide by all rules and regulations stated in the Idaho Statutes and their own administrative codes as given to students. Some acts prohibited by this bond include, but are not limited to:

  • failing to abide by student contracts
  • losing accreditation
  • refusing inspection
  • distributing false or misleading information to students or the Board

If these laws are broken, a claim can be made against the bond to compensate students or the state for financial loss.
