This bill amends Arkansas Code Title 6, Chapter 18, Subchapter 1, by adding a new section, 6-18-114, which allows public school districts and open-enrollment public charter schools to administer a grade-level placement test for students reentering the school system after an absence of at least one year. The purpose of this test is to determine the appropriate grade level for the student based on their ability.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any student who reenters a public school district or charter school cannot be placed in a grade higher than what is appropriate for their age. This ensures that students are assessed fairly and placed in a grade that aligns with their developmental stage while also considering their academic performance.
