HB2675 is a bill that seeks to overhaul the current A-F letter grade system for evaluating Arizona schools by introducing a new system of performance classifications. These classifications will indicate whether schools meet, fail to meet, or exceed expected standards. The bill modifies the appeals process, allowing schools to appeal their performance classification instead of a letter grade, and changes the notification process for underperforming schools, extending the time to notify parents to 60 days and requiring the inclusion of the school's report card.

The bill also stipulates that the Arizona Department of Education will post a list of schools with the lowest performance classification on its website and official communication channels, rather than publishing them in newspapers. It includes provisions for electronic delivery of notifications, public hearings, management applications by organizations, and strategies for schools with failing performance classifications. Additionally, it outlines criteria for a school's exit from a failing classification and modifies language regarding school district consolidation and the roles of teachers and parents in relation to underperforming schools.
