Bill > SB425

This bill amends the Arkansas Code to adjust enhanced transportation funding for various school districts for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. The bill modifies the funding amounts for numerous school districts across Arkansas, with some districts seeing increases and others seeing decreases or receiving zero funding. For example, the DeWitt School District would receive $8,790.15, the Hamburg School District would get $65,642.42, and the Cotter School District would receive $7,228.44. The funding is intended to provide additional financial support to school districts beyond their existing foundation funding to help cover transportation costs. The bill includes an emergency clause, emphasizing the immediate necessity of providing these funds to allow schools to budget appropriately for upcoming school years. The emergency provisions mean the bill would take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor, expiration of the Governor's review period, or override of a potential veto.
