HB 2675 Summary

• Replaces the A-F letter grade system for school accountability with "performance classifications" that indicate whether schools meet, exceed, or fail to meet expected standards

• Requires schools assigned failing performance classifications to notify parents within 60 days and provide school report cards; allows electronic notification with hyperlinks to additional information

• Expands eligibility for Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Accounts to include children currently eligible for kindergarten who reside in attendance boundaries of schools with failing performance classifications
