This bill amends Arkansas Code 6-10-117(d) by repealing the requirement for the State Board of Education to establish rules regarding the implementation of four-day school weeks in public schools. The previous legal language mandated the Board to create standards and guidelines for determining average daily membership and distributing state aid to school districts that opted for a four-day week.

The new language clarifies that while school districts can choose to operate on a four-day school week, they will not receive more state financial aid than they would for a traditional five-day school week. This change aims to streamline the process for schools considering a four-day week while ensuring equitable funding based on the existing five-day model.
