Bill Summary
AN ACT amending sections 15-808 and 15-901, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to school finance.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law to clarify the definition of a "full-time student" for kindergarten programs, specifically distinguishing between half-day and full-day kindergarten. It also adjusts the minimum instructional hours required for full-day kindergarten and for first, second, and third grades to align with the definition of a full-time student. These changes are intended to ensure accurate calculation of Average Daily Membership (ADM), which is a key factor in school finance and funding, by more precisely defining when a student is considered full-time for funding purposes, particularly in the context of kindergarten and early elementary grades.
