HB2301 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes sections 15-241 and 15-393.01 to exclude career technical education districts (CTEDs) from receiving letter grades in the state's A-F school accountability system.

• Requires the Department of Education to include CTEDs in annual achievement profiles with specific performance indicators (graduation rates, program completion rates, assessments, and post-graduation employment/enrollment rates) but prohibits assigning letter grades to these districts.

• Maintains existing reporting requirements for CTEDs including annual reports to the governor, legislature, and state board on student enrollment, program offerings, costs, and program additions or discontinuations.

• Clarifies that the Auditor General shall consider the differences and applicable laws specific to CTEDs when conducting required performance audits.
