AI Summary
This bill amends the law regarding the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts (ASMSA) by clarifying the tuition and fee requirements for different student groups. Specifically, the bill maintains that Arkansas state residents selected for the school's residential programs will continue to attend without paying tuition, fees, room, or board. For students from other countries attending the residential programs, they will be required to pay tuition, fees, and room and board at rates set by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees. The bill introduces a new provision for students enrolled in the school's online programs, who will now be required to pay tuition and fees as determined by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees. This change appears to standardize the fee structure for online students and ensure that the school can recover costs associated with its digital educational offerings.
