AZ HB2666

Establishes a competitive five-year school accountability pilot program beginning in 2015, allowing school districts and charter schools to develop individualized accountability systems as alternatives to traditional letter grade classifications.

Selects five schools total (three from school districts and two charter schools) that must be currently rated A or B, in compliance with all state and federal laws, and must participate in state standardized testing while determining their own weighting of test scores.

Requires participating schools to develop accountability systems measuring outcomes such as rigorous curriculum graduation rates, advanced placement proficiency, multilingual proficiency, career and technical education certification, arts program completion, and community service hours.

Mandates annual reporting to the state board of education with aggregated data by grade level showing outcomes achieved, and requires the board to submit a comprehensive program summary report to state leadership by November 15, 2020.

Automatically terminates the pilot program on July 1, 2021 pursuant to Arizona's sunset law requirements.
