Laws Affecting Students
Act 1097 of 1995 specifies that school districts teach current Arkansas laws of particular relevance to students in grades seven through 12. Ninth-grade civics and 12th-grade American government are targeted courses for this purpose, but instruction in the laws may be incorporated into any courses within these grades.
Decisions of the 2001 Arkansas General Assembly resulted in changes to laws affecting students. The ADE has issued a completely revised compilation of these laws. The revised 2002 compilation and table of contents are listed below.
