AZ SB1581

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 15-183 to add new petition requirements for charter school applicants seeking to establish new schools.

Requires applicants to present a petition to the county school superintendent signed by parents or guardians whose children intend to attend the charter school, with signature thresholds varying based on proximity to existing schools with specific letter grades.

Sets signature requirements at 30 parents for areas more than four miles from A-graded schools, 20 parents for areas more than four miles from B-graded schools, and 10 parents for areas more than four miles from C-graded or lower schools.

Makes minor grammatical and technical corrections throughout section 15-183, including changes to terminology and phrasing related to charter school applications and operations.
