Arizona  Online  Instruction

A student or the student's parents or guardians may apply to the student's school administrator for part-time concurrent or full-time enrollment in an Arizona online instruction (AOI) program.

The student's school administrator shall confer with the student and the student's parents or guardians to:

●  explore the student's interest in and understanding of the AOI program,

●  describe the AOI course or program provider's requirements of the student, and

●  explain the state testing requirements for the student's participation in AOI, as well as the additional testing situations that might result in the student's loss of eligibility to continue in AOI.

The school's administrator, or a person designated by the administrator, shall monitor the student's performance and progress in the AOI course or program of study.  Periodic reports to the student's parents or guardians shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as those for District students of like classification not participating in the AOI.

If a determination is made that the student's academic achievement has declined while the student is participating in AOI, the student's parents or guardians, teacher(s) and instructor(s), and the school's administrator shall confer to evaluate whether the student's continued participation in AOI should be allowed.  When a student's decline in academic achievement, or for any other reasons, results in the student becoming ineligible to continue participation in AOI, the student shall be placed in a school class or course commensurate with the student's academic level and AOI program of study, or as nearly equivalent as is practical.

The school's administrator shall cooperate with the AOI provider as necessary to accommodate on-site assistance to special need students participating in AOI courses or programs.

The school's administrator shall ensure that the daily attendance and membership of each student participating in AOI is recorded, maintained, and reported as required by law.
