| WI | Signed into law 12/2005 | P-12 | From Legislative Council Memo: Current law, in s. 121.54 (10), Stats., authorizes a school board to provide transportation under the Open Enrollment Program for nonresident pupils who are attending public school in the school district or for resident pupils who are attending school in another school district. However, under the current law the school board may not provide transportation for a nonresident pupil to or from a location within the boundaries of the school district in which the pupil resides. Act 68 allows, but does not require a school board to provide such transportation, with the approval of the school board of the school district in which the pupil resides.

| AR | Signed into law 04/2005 | P-12 | Establishes the Arkansas Public School Academic Facilities Program Act. Requires the Division of Public School Academic Facilities and
Transportation to develop a comprehensive Arkansas Public School Academic Facilities Program that includes an academic facilities master plan program; an academic facilities custodial, maintenance, repair, and renovation manual; a public school academic facility manual; a public school academic equipment manual; and an academic facilities distress program. Defines each of the components of the Arkansas Public School Academic Facilities Program and the areas each component must address.
Establishes the provisions of the academic facilites master plan program, which requires every local board to approve a ten-year districtwide facilities master plan for submission to and approval by the division of public school academic facilities and transportation. Specifies the required content of every district's facilities master plan.
Requires the Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation to identify a public school or school district as being in academic facilities distress if the division determines that the public school or school district has engaged in actions or inactions that result in any act or violation determined by the division to jeopardize any academic facility used by a public school or school district, or any other condition of an academic facility or facilities in a public school or school district that is determined by the division to have a detrimental impact on educational services provided by that public school or school district. Requires the division to provide the district with written notification of its being in academic facilities distress. Requires a public school or school district identified as being in facilities distress to develop a facilities improvement plan within 30 days from the date of receipt of the notice and promptly submit the facilities improvement plan to the division for review and approval, and revise the plan on a periodic basis.
Authorizes the division to:
--Provide on-site technical evaluation and assistance to any school district identified to be in facilities distress, and to make recommendations to the district superintendent regarding the care and maintenance of any academic facility in the district. Requires the district in facilities distress to accept such on-site technical evaluation and assistance.
--Require the superintendent to relinquish all administrative authority with respect to the school district and appoint an individual in place of the superintendent to administratively operate the school district under the supervision and approval of the Director of the Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation.
--Suspend or remove all of the current board members and call for the election of a new school board for the district, in which case the school district must reimburse the county board of election commissioners for election costs as otherwise required by law;
--Require the school district to operate without a local board under the supervision of the local superintendent or an individual or panel appointed by the director of the division;
--Return the administration of the school district to the former board or place the administration of the school district in a newly elected school board;
--Require school district staff and employees to attend training in areas of concern for the public school or school district;
--Require a school district to cease immediately all expenditures related to activities not described as part of an adequate education in § 6-20-2302 and place money that would have been spent on the activities into an academic facilities escrow account to be released only upon approval by the division for use in conjunction with a local academic facilities project.
--Notify the public school or school district in writing that the deficiencies regarding academic facilities must be corrected within a
time period designated by the division;
--Petition the state board at any time for the consolidation, annexation, or reconstitution of a school district in facilities distress or take other appropriate action as specified in statute in order to secure and protect the best interest of the educational resources of the state or to provide for the best interests of students in the school district. Allows the state board to consolidate, annex, reconstitute any school district that fails to remove itself from the classification of a school district in facilities distress within two consecutive school years of receipt of notice of identification of facilities distress status by the division; and
--Take any other action allowed by law that is deemed necessary to assist a public school or school district in removing criteria of facilities distress.
Allows a district to appeal the state board's consolidation, annexation, or reconstitution decision to the Commission for Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation. Authorizes the commission to reverse the action of the state board if the commission finds that the school district could not remove itself from facilities distress due to external forces beyond the school district's control.
Allows any student attending a public school district classified as being in facilities distress to be automatically eligible to transfer to another geographically contiguous school district not in facilities distress during the time period that a district is classified as being in facilities distress. Requires transportation costs to be paid by the resident district and the nonresident district to count the student for average daily membership purposes.
Requires the Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation to conduct random unannounced on-site inspections of all academic facilities that have been funded wholly or in part by moneys from the state to ensure compliance with the school district's facilities master plan and, if applicable, the school district's facilities improvement plan. Requires the division to report to the Commission for Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation within 30 days of completion of the on-site inspections.
Establishes a process for a school district to appeal any determination of the Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation to the Commission for Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation.
Repeals Arkansas Code § 6-20-1402 on school districts' authority to borrow money for building or repairing school facilities and Arkansas Code § 6-11-130 on custodial and maintenance care for school facilities.
