This bill amends the law regarding the certification of an oath for school board directors in Arkansas. It specifies that each director must subscribe to an oath within ten days of receiving notice of their election or appointment from the county clerk or their designee. The bill removes previous language that indicated the date by which the oath should be subscribed and instead clarifies that the oath must be taken within ten days of notification. Additionally, it requires the director to submit a certification of the oath to the county clerk, which must include the director's signature, the administrator's signature, and the date.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the county clerk upon receiving the certification of the oath. It eliminates the requirement for the county clerk to verify compliance with certain conditions before accepting the certification and instead mandates that the clerk immediately commission the director, allowing them to assume their duties. The bill also modifies the notification process to the school district superintendent regarding the acceptance of the oath certification, streamlining the communication process. Overall, these changes aim to clarify and expedite the process for school board directors to officially assume their roles.
