Attorney General of Arkansas — Opinion
February 6, 1986

STEVE CLARK, Attorney General

The Honorable Veo Easley State Representative P.O. Box 308 Sheridan, AR 72150

Dear Representative Easley:

This is in response to your opinion request on Act 445 of 1983 herein you posed the following inquiries:

1. What is the deadline for meeting the standards?

2. Who, if anyone, may give a school extra time to meet the standards?

In response to your inquiries, attached are two opinions previously issued by this office (Opinion No. 85-40 and informal Opinion No. 8-86) which address when the standards become effective and what discretion the Department of Education might have in extending those deadlines.

The foregoing opinion, which I hereby approve, was prepared by Assistant Attorney General C. Randy McNair, III.

Sincerely,

Steve Clark Attorney General
