The bill aims to repeal the provisions related to additional funding for the development and administration of professional learning communities in Arkansas. Specifically, it targets Arkansas Code 6-20-2305(b)(5)(C), which previously allocated up to $16.5 million for professional development to support public school districts through these communities.

By removing this section, the bill eliminates the requirement for the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education to administer this additional funding and to establish rules for its use. Consequently, the bill effectively discontinues the financial support that was intended to enhance professional learning communities within the state's public education system.
