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 2021-2022 school year must be completed and closed-out in the State required computerized maintenance management system, SchoolDude, by June 30, 2022, 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.
