HB 2077 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 15-808 to modify requirements for Arizona online instruction programs operated by district public schools and state-approved charter schools.

• Changes funding levels for online students: full-time students receive 95% of base support level funding, while part-time students receive 85% of base support level funding (previously different percentages).

• Requires online schools to correlate state testing results to the specific online school that awarded credit in that subject area, and allows school districts to retest students if an online provider did not proctor final examinations.

• Maintains existing requirements that online students must reside in Arizona, participate in state testing, and that schools must maintain daily logs of instructional time and notify parents of testing requirements.

• Clarifies that final examinations are considered "proctored" if taken under supervision of a school staff member with student identification provided.
