AZ HB2028

Requires school districts and charter schools to obtain state board of education approval to operate alternative schools, with notification of how the school's letter grade will be calculated.

Amends the accountability system for alternative schools that serve both at-risk and non-at-risk students by requiring two separate letter grades: one factoring in at-risk student performance and one for non-at-risk student performance.

Prohibits the state board from developing exceptions to accountability measures for schools participating in Arizona online instruction pursuant to section 15-808.

Corrects statutory language by changing "researched-based methodology" to "research-based methodology" in the achievement profile calculation requirements.
