Act 1473 of the 2009 Legislative Session established an ending date on the availability of funds made available for 2006 and 2007 Partnership Program projects.

School districts must have all Partnership Program projects approved in 2006, for which funding was made available on July 1, 2006, under construction, as evidenced by a signed construction contract, by January 31, 2010.

School districts must also have all Partnership Program projects approved in 2007, for which funding was made available on July 1, 2007, under construction, as evidenced by a signed construction contract, by January 31, 2011.

Projects that do not meet these construction dates may have their funds withdrawn by the Commission for Arkansas Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation.

The Division will exercise its authority under Ark. Code Ann. § 6-21-811 for those school districts who fail to meet these dates because of a failed millage election.
