This bill mandates that any private school in Arkansas that accepts state funding must provide transportation for students who live within thirty-five miles of the school. The new section added to the Arkansas Code, specifically 6-20-108, outlines that the responsibility for providing this transportation falls entirely on the private school.

The bill defines a "private school" as a nonpublic institution offering K-12 education that receives any form of state funding. This legislation aims to ensure that students enrolled in these private schools have access to necessary transportation, thereby promoting educational accessibility for families within the specified distance.
