SB1303 is a bill that amends section 15-1626 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR). The bill requires ABOR to make its program for awarding honors endorsements to high school diplomas available to pupils enrolled in school districts or charter schools within the state. The program, which is voluntary for pupils, aims to recognize students who demonstrate an extraordinary level of knowledge, skill, and competency in various subjects, including mathematics, English, science, and social studies.
The bill includes several technical and language changes to the existing law, such as changing "vice-presidents" to "vice presidents," and clarifying the board's authority by using terms like "the board's" instead of "its." Additionally, the bill specifies that the program must not be available to private school students, only to those in public school districts or charter schools. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
