Bill overview
This bill, the Arizona Released Time Education Act, allows public school students to participate in released time courses offered by outside providers during regular school hours. Both charter and public school districts must meet specific requirements, including parental consent, instructor qualifications, and student responsibility for missed schoolwork. Successfully completed courses will receive academic credit, determined using secular criteria similar to those for regular courses, and participation will be counted towards instructional hours. The bill also establishes a private cause of action for those harmed by violations.
