HB 1152 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION - DIVISION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL ACADEMIC FACILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

HB 1152 allocates $3.06 million for staffing and operations of Arkansas' Department of Education Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, including specific positions for 32 regular staff and up to 5 temporary employees. It also appropriates $215.34 million for school facility grants to public school districts, covering programs like academic facilities partnerships and catastrophic repairs. The bill directly affects the state education department and public school districts receiving facility funding. This is a funding measure (not a policy change), setting budget limits for the division’s operations and school support programs.
