The proposed bill seeks to amend section 15-161 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by clarifying the relationship between the state and private schools. Currently, the law explicitly states that the state board of education and school district governing boards do not have control or supervision over private schools.
The bill introduces an insertion that emphasizes the lack of control or supervision by the state board of education or school district governing boards over private schools, reinforcing the existing legal framework without altering its fundamental meaning. There are no deletions in this amendment, indicating that the current statute remains intact while the new language serves to clarify the state's position regarding private school governance.
