date but to their and integrated postsecondary education data system but in speaking with the agency they told us that they can access this data at any point and they can view it live and so they can see things is the institutions are insuring them entering the data and so they stated they don't need this language anymore so the requesting to delete it and the executive recommendation provide to the agency request.

Again they're asking for the name change in the executive recommendation provides for that request those are my comments on higher ed Mr chairman thank you miss Welles with. All right the Senator hammer you're recognized for a question.
Sure you manifest the division a question please yes with the agency please come forward. Please identify yourself for the record then you may proceed. The four assistant director finance division of higher ed.
Good morning two questions one deleting language as far as a requirement of the data within three weeks following and I can't I think it's I PDS due date what what auditing procedures do you have in place that are going to a substitute for this because the way I interpreted is or was a three week deadline you're striking that out which removes the requirement for them to report within three weeks so what do you have to substitute with this
language being stricken out its aids is the the fact that as an agency we now have an agreement with iPads the the data folks to draw that information ourselves rather than have the schools have to report it to us at the same time they report to that we have an agreement with that the national system to pull that information ourselves. Sir makes the this requirement necessary for us to pull into the student information system. Okay how often do you look at it because it seems to me like this at least had a mandatory three
week window to look at it so how often does the department look at this to determine if there's any inappropriate actions whatever it is that you look for in the auditing process at its pulled continuously throughout the year to update that student information system now that we have the information system updated I think two years ago we we went there a a large process of updating that student information system. Because it was about fifteen twenty years old now that that it's been updated everything's put in place we had its continuously updating and
drawing that information to keep us okay and then the second question is about the. A geographical. Ical needs minorities teacher scholarship program it has a a cap of two hundred thousand do you know how much has been you say historically in last year to that we've been using one hundred seventy five thousand so it's been allocated and spent over the past multiple years I can get you how far back that goes but it's been one hundred and seventy five thousand what's been budgeted and expense to.
Okay is that sufficient to meet the needs to get more requests than you have appropriation to meet. What we've done is we've we budgeted that amount we sent to the schools that that's the amount that we have and so that's what sent back to us to expense that I'm not sure if there's I'm sure there are additional needs that that could be done there's additional funding but that's. That's the amount of funding that we've had to be able to support that currently I think your skewed information that say you had five hundred thousand
dollars worth request but your capped out at one city five two hundred just collected some historical yes Sir on that if you don't mind please move that for you alright thank you thank you Mr. Any other questions. Seeing none you dismiss thank you. Entertain a motion to approve. Motion second. All in favor say aye. It is approved. A school for the blind.
Ms Walton recognized thank you Mr chairman the next piece of language in tab five is on page one fifty five. This is for the Arkansas school for the blind you may notice this is requested new language. This is requested by the school for the blind this would allow them to carry forward any finding left over in their general revenue appropriation into a special cellphone sub find to be used FOR special maintenance renovations and future construction.
They state that there's a number of aging buildings on their their campus and they would like to instead of those funds being recouped back into general revenue they like to use any leftover balances to put toward this seventeen build over time to allow them to provide maintenance for the buildings this also includes reporting language and will be included in the budget manuals and each biennium. Again this is new language in the executive recommendation provides for this request.
Senator hammer you're recognized for the agency please. The agency okay could I get one from the agency please. Please identify yourself for the record you may proceed. gorgeous farm education. Forty. But this seems like a member
unless you're to discussions about the conditions of the building over there and I'm wondering why there would even be any money to carry Ford if the buildings are in as bad a shape as they are that they would be spending the money so that they wouldn't have any money left over at the end of the year to carry forward is it about structure or can you help me understand please so a yes you're correct the right now both and we have similar language that you see and on the that side as well
they do spend a lot most of their budget there's no I don't think that any care for most years but one of things that we have seen the start to start planning long term for a lot of the building needs that we have because they are a lot of old buildings over there we've been into a contract with a group called spark fund who is going to do an assessment right now and it's more of a subscription based model to help with some the H. FAQ issues that they have but in going through and looking at these buildings there's not really like a traditional school would have a building fund set up and since this is a state
agency there's never been able to pass a military get an increase they don't have that ability to to set up a building fund so what we request is this language to start creating that building fund I don't anticipate this will be a lot of money in it at first because like said they are having a student on their knees they have right now but as we continue to work with them and try to fit find efficiencies within their operations were hoping that over time we can start building up some savings there so we do have some big projects come through that will have sufficient funds
to help at least offset most the cost. Okay in a I know they got needs I just didn't understand why we were creating carry for fun when and and so thanks for the explanation thank you Mr. Seat number ten thank you Mr chair this is Representative love so when we start talking about carrying Ford finds would give
me a average about how much they carry forward if any. Well at the end right now there wouldn't be of it being minimal it because it would be whatever they didn't spend for their operations right now so did take your for any funds lass. Doubt now okay arm that's that's I was just curious. Thank you Mr chair. Any other questions seeing none thank you.
All of the I need a motion I have a motion second I have a second all in favor say aye. Those opposed say no. It's adopted. This wall you're recognized school of the. Thank you Mr chairman the last piece of language that I have read today's on page one sixty six. This is the same language that you just saw for the school for the blind that this is for provided for the school for the deaf so as I stated before it would allow them to carry forward general revenue into a special sub find allow them to use it for special maintenance
renovations or future construction it also includes that reporting requirement that it will be in the budget manuals and reported to counsel and this is the request in the executive recommendation provides for the request. Any questions. Seeing none motion motion second of a second all in favor say aye. Those opposed say no. There is adopted. I need to back up a little bit in the insurance department owned volume two one twenty
three if I need this proved as modified ago chance look at that just second if you'd like. I should on that wall going up failed to do that. My apologies Mr chairman the department have requested deletion of this language you'll see that they had requested eight million dollars in a single biennium for the purpose of providing funding for construction and renovation other department facilities but
since transformation the agency does not need this appropriation or the funding attached to it so they would just like the language deleted. Questions. Seeing none I'd entertain a motion to adopt this is modified. The motion. Second. All in favor say aye. Those posts a no.
It is adopted. Our next meeting will be Thursday seven thirty AM here in mac a building. We are Jr.
