SB413

Senate Bill 413 modifies the administrative procedures for the oath of office required for Arkansas school district board directors. It establishes a formal process for the county clerk to verify, accept, or reject the certification of the oath. The bill mandates that the certification include a copy of the oath, the signatures of the director and the administrator, and the date. It grants the county clerk authority to ensure that the individual administering the oath is authorized and that all submissions meet the ten-day deadline. Additionally, the bill outlines the notification requirements for school district superintendents regarding the status of a director's certification. Finally, it specifies that failure to properly complete and submit the oath results in the individual being unqualified to serve, potentially triggering a holdover scenario.
