Bill > SB1497

This bill amends Arizona law to allow for the inclusion of "classical learning tests" and "classical baccalaureate examinations" as acceptable assessments for students. Specifically, it updates Section 15-1626 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to include these classical learning assessments alongside advanced placement and international baccalaureate examinations when determining common equivalencies for postsecondary academic credits at community colleges and public universities. Additionally, it modifies Section 15-2402, which governs Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (AZESA), a program providing educational options for students. The bill adds these classical learning assessments to the list of approved expenses for which AZESA funds can be used, alongside existing options like nationally standardized achievement tests and advanced placement exams, allowing students to use scholarship funds for these specific types of evaluations.
