TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING A SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS; AND TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE CERTIFICATION OF AN OATH FOR A SCHOOL BOARD DIRECTOR.

SB 413 requires school board directors in Arkansas to take and submit proof of an oath within 10 days of their election or appointment. The bill mandates that directors provide a certified copy of their signed oath, including the administrator's signature and date, to the county clerk by the deadline specified in the notification. Failure to comply results in disqualification from serving and a holdover period until the oath is properly submitted. This procedural change directly affects all newly elected or appointed school board members across Arkansas school districts.
