The student must be in a home school program for atleast one (1) year prior to obtaining a driver education permit.Students completing driver education in another state must have met or exceeded Idaho’sminimum requirements of thirty (30) classroom hours, six (6) behind-the-wheel hours, andsix (6) observation hours to qualify for or to complete the six (6) month supervised instructionperiod in Idaho. The documentation must be on an official school form, signed by the instructoror administrator.Online coursework is not transferable unless it meets or exceeds INACOL standards(International Association for K-12 Online Learning). On-line coursework can only replace the(30) classroom hours. Driving and observation time cannot be replaced with simulated drivingor on-line classroom hours.Students who have completed thirty (30) hours of classroom instruction in another state butfewer than six (6) hours of in-car instruction and fewer than six (6) hours of observation maycomplete the in-car instruction and observation in Idaho.

Once enrolled, every effort should be made to adapt lesson materialsto the student’s specific needs (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA; PL101-476).Students not eligible for special education services should consult with the district’s school staffresponsible for determining under the IDEA if the student could qualify and receive servicesunder Section 504.Public driver education programs will have procedures in place to assist instructors in identifyingstudents with special needs.The school shall provide appropriate accommodations when necessary. No accommodationscan be made that compromise public safety.Idaho Public Driver Education Program Manual 17
