Bill > HB2423

This bill amends Arizona law regarding mathematics education in schools. It requires school districts and charter schools to notify parents of students in grades six through eight who are not proficient in grade-level mathematics, detailing their deficiencies and available remediation services. Crucially, the bill mandates that if an advanced mathematics course is available, students in grades six through eight will be automatically enrolled in such a course for their next math class, unless their parent objects. This automatic enrollment is triggered if the student demonstrates the highest proficiency in grade-level math on statewide assessments, end-of-course exams, or benchmark assessments, or if they earn at least an "A" in their most recent math course, or if either the student or their parent requests enrollment in an advanced course. Parents will be informed about the purpose of this automatic enrollment and how to opt out. Additionally, schools serving students in grades five through eight must annually report the number of students in grades six through eight enrolled in advanced mathematics courses.
