Arkansas Code § 6-20-2204 requires all Superintendents, Education Service Cooperative Directors, Open-Enrollment Public Charter School Directors, and “a person whose job responsibilities include preparing the budget or overall accounting responsibility” for the district to attend Tier I Training each year.

The Tier I Training can also be used to meet the Tier 2 training requirement. Tier 2 Training is required for all district employees who are involved in the process of recording and/or reporting school or district financial transactions.

Below is a link to the schedule of Tier I Training sessions scheduled for 2024-2025 (Tier I Schedule is the first link on the page).  Please be sure to contact the host site for pre-registration information.
