2016 Op. Ark. Att'y Gen. 1 (2016)

handle is hein.sag/sagar0108 and id is 1 raw text is: STATE OF ARKANSAS ATTORN EY GENERAL LESLIE RUTLEDGE Opinion N(,. 2015-102 January 8, 2016 Johnny Key, Commissioner Arkansas Department of Education Four Capitol Mall Little Rock, AR 72201-1019 Dear Commissioner Key: I am writing in response to your request for an opinion on certain questions concerning Act 1286 of 2015 (the Act). This uncodified, temporary legislation, in short, establishes a pilot program for elementary and secondary agriculture schools in the state.' You have presented the following questions, which you state have arisen in the course of the Department of Education's efforts to implement the Act: 1. Act 1286 of 2015 exempts an agricultural school that is part of the pilot program from Ark. Code Ann. §§ 6-13-1501(a)(2) and 6-13-1502. Does this exemption allow an agricultural school to detach to form its own school district under Ark. Code Ann. § 6- 13-1501 et seq.? If so, would the agricultural school have to be approved for grades K-12 before any detachment as a school district could occur? 2. If the law allows an agricultural school to detach to form its own school district under Ark. Code Ann. § 6-13-1501 et seq., would that district be subject to the Administrative Consolidation provisions set forth in Ark. Code Ann. § 6-13-1601 et seq., as See Acts 2015, No. 1286, § I (identifying the Act as temporary language that is not to be codified). Under the Act, the pilot program was to provide for at least one agriculture school in the state for grades 7 through 12 for the 2015-16 school year, and provides for at least one such school for kindergarten through the 6th grade for the 2016-17 school year. 323 CENTER STREET, SUITE 200 , LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201 TELEPHONE (501) 682-2007 , FAX (501) 682-8084 ARKANSASAG.GOV
