TO REPEAL THE ARKANSAS OPPORTUNITY PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE ACT; TO AMEND THE LAW RELATING TO TRANSFERS OF STUDENTS BETWEEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS; AND TO AMEND THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE ACT OF 2015.
SB 482 aimed to repeal the Arkansas Opportunity Public School Choice Act. This act allowed students attending public school districts classified as "Level 5 - Intensive support" or "F" rated public schools to transfer to higher-performing public schools or districts. If enacted, the bill would have eliminated this specific transfer option for those students. The bill also intended to amend other laws concerning student transfers between public schools and school districts, and the Public School Choice Act of 2015.
