Arizona HB2235 establishes education programs for juveniles in county detention centers and county jails.

Arizona HB2235 mandates that each county operating a juvenile detention center must provide an education program for all school-age children detained there. The county school superintendent and the presiding juvenile court judge must agree on the program's delivery method. The program can be administered through an existing accommodation school, with funding from a detention center education fund. This fund includes a base amount and a variable amount, funded by the state general fund.
