full-day kindergarten students; ADM.

This bill (SB 1648) updates Arizona's online instruction standards and funding rules, primarily affecting online schools, students enrolled in them, and school districts. It requires online schools to meet specific standards (like curriculum depth, internet safety, and teacher qualifications) and mandates probationary status for new providers until they prove academic improvement. Crucially, it changes funding: full-time online students receive 95% of standard funding, while part-time students receive 85%, with daily attendance logs used to calculate these figures. The bill does not address kindergarten specifically, despite its title, focusing instead on statewide online education accountability and financial rules.
