Section 1. Title 15, chapter 7, article 3, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 15-744, to read:
15-744. Special education;
alternative testing; exemption; rules
Notwithstanding any other state law and to the
extent allowed by federal law, the state board of education shall adopt rules
that both:
1. Allow a pupil to participate in
alternative testing instead of the testing required pursuant to this article if
the pupil is enrolled in either of the following:
(a) A special
education program and the pupil meets certain criteria as specified by the
state board of education.
(b) A self‑contained
program for pupils with disabilities that does not adequately prepare the pupil
for the testing required pursuant to this article.
2. Allow a pupil's individualized
education program team to exempt the pupil from the testing required pursuant
to this article with sufficient data to justify the exemption.
