Chamber Passed·2/25/26

Arizona SB1026 amends requirements for alternative education programs and schools, including application processes and funding.

Arizona SB1026 modifies the requirements for alternative education programs and alternative schools. It allows school district governing boards to contract with public or private entities for these programs. The superintendent can recommend student placement with parental or guardian approval. The bill also specifies that these programs can deliver required instructional time on any day and can enroll students without a withdrawal form if the previous school's withdrawal is verified. It further allows continued enrollment and funding for students incorrectly coded as graduates.
