15-891.01. Obligations of school districts and department of education
A. A school district shall timely notify the parent of each pupil with a disability of all options available pursuant to this article and offer that pupil's parent an opportunity to enroll the pupil in another public school within the district. The parent is not required to accept this offer instead of requesting an Arizona scholarship to a qualified school. However, if the parent chooses the public school option, the pupil may continue attending a public school chosen by the parent until the pupil graduates from high school. The transportation provisions set forth in section 15-816.01 apply to pupils who participate in the scholarship program pursuant to this article.
B. If the parent chooses the qualified school option and the pupil is accepted by the qualified school pending the availability of space for the pupil, the parent of the pupil must notify the school district sixty days before the first scholarship payment and before enrolling the child in the qualified school to be eligible for the scholarship when space becomes available for the pupil in the qualified school.
C. The parent of a pupil may choose to enroll the pupil in and transport the pupil to a public school in an adjacent school district that has available space and that has a program that complies with the pupil's individualized education program, and that school district shall accept the pupil for admission to the public school.
D. If a parent of a pupil who resides in the school district and who participates in the Arizona scholarships for pupils with disabilities program requests that the pupil take any of the statewide tests prescribed by this title, the school district shall provide locations and times to take these statewide tests.
E. A school district shall notify the department of education within ten days after the school district receives notification of a parent's intent to apply for a scholarship for a pupil with a disability.
