Bill Summary

AN ACT TO AMEND THE INFORMATION THAT A SCHOOL DISTRICT SHALL PROVIDE ELECTRONICALLY WITH RESPECT TO ITS SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arkansas Code § 6-11-129(a)(1) to expand the information school districts must make easily accessible on their websites. The bill requires school districts to post additional details about board of directors' meetings and membership, including: agendas for regular meetings (to be posted 24 hours before the meeting), agendas for special or emergency meetings (to be posted 2 hours before the meeting), and minutes from regular, emergency, and special meetings (to be posted within 24 hours of approval). Furthermore, the bill mandates that school districts publish the names and email addresses of all board members, including their positions, zoning information (if applicable), and terms of office. These changes are designed to increase transparency by providing the public with more comprehensive and timely information about school district board activities and leadership. The bill builds upon existing requirements for school districts to share financial data, budget information, employee salary schedules, and other administrative details online.
