This bill authorizes incorporated towns or cities of the second class in Arkansas to petition the State Board of Education for the establishment of a local public elementary school or satellite school under specific conditions. The new legal language outlines that a written appeal can be filed by the town or city, along with parents or guardians of students, if the affected district has undergone a consolidation within the last twenty years and has previously included an elementary school. Additionally, the town or city must demonstrate the capability to provide adequate school facilities.

If the receiving school district board approves the appeal, they must jointly file with the State Board of Education to establish the school within the town or city's boundaries. The bill also stipulates that the newly established local public elementary school will be part of the receiving district, and allows for a written agreement between the receiving district and the town or city for in-kind contributions to support the establishment and maintenance of the school.
