instructional time models; repeal
HB 2659 repeals two Arizona statutes (Sections 15-796 and 15-901) that previously governed alternative education programs and instructional time models. Specifically, it removes provisions allowing alternative schools to deliver required instructional time on any day, enroll students without withdrawal forms (if verified), and continue funding for students incorrectly coded as graduates. This bill directly affects school districts and alternative education programs by eliminating these specific enrollment and funding mechanisms. The repeal is procedural and does not create new policies or change existing requirements for student instruction or accountability.
