About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the school bond actually covers

Idaho requires proprietary (postsecondary) schools to register annually with the State Board of Education under Idaho Code Title 33, Chapter 24, with the details set in IDAPA 08.01.11. A registered school must keep a surety bond in force for the benefit of its students.

The bond protects students against a school's failure to deliver the instruction they paid for — if the school closes mid-course or breaches its tuition contracts, harmed students can recover against the bond. It also backs the school's compliance with the chapter and the Board's rules.

The amount is sized to your school. The Board's rules tie it to enrollment and the tuition you collect, with common tiers stepping up as your student count and tuition grow. The bond must stay in force with no lapse throughout the registration year — confirm your required figure with the Board, and your exact price appears at the application, starting from $100.
