The proposed bill seeks to amend section 15-2404 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding the control of nonpublic schools and the requirements for qualified schools accepting students with Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts. The bill replaces the term "permit" with "allow" in the context of government agency oversight over nonpublic schools and homeschools, thereby clarifying the intent of the statute.
Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that prohibit qualified schools from requiring parents or students to disclose their enrollment in the Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts program or the amount deposited in the scholarship account as a condition for enrollment. This aims to protect the privacy of families utilizing these accounts while ensuring that qualified schools maintain their autonomy regarding admissions policies and practices.
