HB 2530 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes Section 15-808 to clarify enrollment provisions for pupils participating in Arizona online instruction, distinguishing between "concurrently enrolls" and "subsequently enrolls" scenarios.

• Requires school districts and charter schools to release pupil transcripts within 10 days of valid requests and to accept elective and core credits from other schools, districts, or online providers if courses align with state competency requirements.

• Establishes enforcement mechanisms allowing the state board of education, charter school board, or superintendent to withhold up to 1-2% of monthly state aid for violations, with full withholding resumed upon compliance without restoration of previously withheld amounts.

• Prohibits online course providers from being required to withdraw students who fail to take required standardized tests.

• Adds definitions for "concurrently enrolls" and "subsequently enrolls" to clarify that pupils cannot count toward average daily membership at multiple schools simultaneously, with apportionment based on time spent at each location.
