This bill proposes updates to current statutes regarding instructional time models (ITMs) for school districts and charter schools. Under the current law, schools can provide up to 40% of their total instructional time in a remote setting without affecting funding. The bill maintains this provision but introduces a new requirement for each school district and charter school that adopts an ITM to submit it to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE).

Additionally, the ADE will be mandated to post all received ITMs on its website, along with information regarding each model's impact on the school's funding. This new transparency aims to provide better oversight and accessibility of instructional time models to the public. The bill also makes technical and conforming changes to the existing statutes.
