ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Currently, as required by Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-2907(a), the Department contracts with assessment
providers to administer the statewide assessments, paying the cost of the assessments on behalf of the
public school districts and public charter schools. A process for individual entities or individuals to pay
for assessment costs does not currently exist. The registration data required for assessment providers is
currently collected through the statewide school finance system accessible only to public school districts
and public charter schools.
