As we begin the summer break, the next 2 months will lead to some community service opportunities. Arkansas Code 6-16-1901: Beginning with the graduating Class of 2027, a public high school student shall complete a minimum of 75 community service hours in order to graduate. Act 803 of 2025 now allows a parent to "sign off" that the student completed a particular community service task. A student must complete and turn in a community service form to the high office for that task to count toward his or her required 75 hours. Student forms can be found in the high office or on our website (Click on More/Click on Forms): https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/3982/LCSD/5693260/Community_Service_Student_Form.pdf
