The bill proposes the repeal of additional funding designated for the development and administration of professional learning communities within Arkansas public schools. Specifically, it targets the provisions outlined in Arkansas Code 6-20-2305(b)(5)(C), which previously allocated up to $16.5 million for professional development aimed at enhancing these learning communities.

By removing this funding, the bill effectively eliminates the financial support that the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education was authorized to use for the establishment and management of professional learning communities, as well as the associated administrative rules and partnerships that were intended to facilitate this process. This legislative change signifies a shift in the state's approach to funding professional development initiatives in education.
