4-H and FFA Members to Receive Excused Absences from School
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS: SECTION 1. The General Assembly hereby finds and declares that both the FFA program and the 4-H program in the State involve an education and learning process that is not otherwise available in the regular curriculum of secondary education in Arkansas; that the principles and practices to such students and that participation in such programs should be encouraged; and that one method of encouraging participation in such programs is to excuse the absences of students from regular classes when such students are participating in officially sanctioned activities of such organizations. Therefore, it is the purpose and intent of the Act to assure that class absences of students who are participating in sanctioned FFA and 4-H activities are excused to such extent as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the respective districts, with the participants in the two programs being treated equally with respect to such absences. SECTION 2. Any school district which excuses absences of FFA member students who attend officially sanctioned FFA activities shall afford equal treatment to 4-H member students who attend the same or similar officially sanctioned activities. SECTION 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed. State of Arkansas |
