Arkansas legislators are waiting for a report
due November 30th that will estimate costs for improving state
public school buildings.
Legislators say they expect some sticker shock, which could
revive a push for further consolidations of school districts.
Consolidation bitterly divided legislators throughout the 2003
regular session and this year`s special session.
The state paid more than nine (m) million dollars for the
assessment of its 6,600 school buildings. Having adequate
facilities is a part of a court order the state is under to improve
its public schools.
