An October 15th settlement grants Arizona charter schools more flexibility when determining their curricular timelines, as long as they cover all the state required academic content eventually. The settlement's terms, announced jointly by the parties, permit the plaintiff schools to request alternative time frames for teaching state required social studies topics. The agreement, however, allows each party to resume the lawsuit if their goals and expectations are not met. The parties to the lawsuit issued a joint statement announcing the settlement. "This is a win-win for both sides: defendants can continue universal application of state standards, and the plaintiff schools will be able to continue teaching their proven curricula,'" the statement said.
