State Mandated Inspections are those inspections required by various state agencies to assure occupant health and safety in public K-12 facilities in Arkansas.

The Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation (Division) is hereby reminding each school district that all State Mandated Inspections for the 2020-2021 school year must be completed and closed-out in the State required computerized maintenance management system, SchoolDude, by June 30, 2021, deadline.

All semi-annual State Mandated Inspections should be closed-out when the second requirement of the State Mandated Inspection has been/was completed.  All annual State Mandated Inspections should be closed out on the actual completion date, as early completions without documentation require further investigation.

The results for each State Mandated Inspection for each school district will be listed in a detailed report to the Commission for Arkansas Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation, and then forwarded to the Governor of the State of Arkansas, House Committee on Education, Senate Committee on Education, Academic Facilities Oversight Committee, Bureau of Legislative Audit, and the particular members of the State House of Representatives and State Senate.
