The bill mandates that public schools in Arkansas are required to submit data and information regarding students' individualized education programs (IEPs) through a uniform statewide data collection system. This requirement aims to streamline the process of data collection and ensure consistency across public school districts and open-enrollment public charter schools.

To implement this, the bill amends Arkansas Code 6-10-129 by adding a new subsection that specifies the obligation of each public school district and charter school to utilize the designated data collection system established by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. This change is intended to enhance the management and accessibility of IEP-related data, ultimately benefiting students with special educational needs.
