Community College | Makes various clarifying, technical and conforming changes related to the implementation of the Grand Canyon Diploma (GCD).
Requires the governing body or a charter school and school district governing boards to collaborate with the organization approved by the state board of education to provide board examination systems. Changes references to a student's status with regard to the GCD from "earn a GCD" to "be eligible for a GCD". Clarifies that students cannot be prevented from enrolling in a high school after becoming eligible for the GCD. Instructs the approved provider of board examinations to "contract", rather than "collaborate" with a national organization selected by the state board of education to provide technical services to develop an interstate system of board examination systems. Mandates the periodic evaluation of the board examination systems to ensure alignment with internationally benchmarked standards selected by an interstate compact on board examination systems. Modifies the passing score requirement for the board examination systems to reflect the level of skills and knowledge needed, rather than literacy required, to succeed in college-level courses. Clarifies that community colleges are not prohibited from requiring qualified recipients of the GCD to enroll in remedial courses. States that a student who earns a GCD is responsible for tuition at a community college. Clarifies that students who choose to remain in high school without completing the next level of board examination systems may participate in extracurricular activities.
Schools granting GCDs are to include in their student count, and receive per pupil funding for, those students who receive GCDs until they would have graduated at the end of grade 12 as long as the students are enrolled full-time in an Arizona community college. Directs schools to subtract 20% of their average daily membership amount and reimburse the community college if the student earned a GCD and is enrolled full-time in a community college. Allocates one half of the student funding that remains after reimbursement of the community college for offsetting the costs of board examinations and providing customized programs of assistance for students who failed the board examinations. (Note: This allocation is in addition to the current requirement that this portion of the funding also cover teacher and pupil incentives. The other half of the funding is to be used for maintenance and operations, including capital.) Directs school districts and charter schools to determine, by agreement with a community college, the funding and implementation mechanics of enrollment in a community college by recipients of the GCD. Specifies, if instruction is provided by a Joint Techical Education District (JTED) in a full-time career and technical education program that leads to a certificate awarded by an industry or recognized as meeting industry standards. ADM for that student cannot exceed 1.25, and ADM must be 1.0 for the JTED and 0.25 for the school district. Allows schools to receive per pupil funding for students who elect to remain in high school without completing the next level of board examination systems.
