juvenile detention centers; education programs.

Summary

The bill requires every Arizona county that runs a juvenile detention center to offer an education program for all school‑age children housed there, and each county jail to educate inmates 21 or younger who lack a high school diploma. County superintendents, together with judges or sheriffs, decide how the programs are delivered, while the state board of education sets curriculum standards and testing. Funding is supplied from the state general fund using a base amount plus a variable amount calculated from instructional days and special provisions for students with disabilities.
