The House and Senate Education committees approved the proposal by Sen. Randy Laverty, D-Jasper. Among those testifying was Deer-Mount Judea School District Superintendent Richard Denniston, who said he wants the study to go forward.
Legislators agreed to hold a meeting on the subject at Denniston's school district in north Arkansas in September.
Denniston said that if legislators could see the isolated nature of his district, they would get a better idea of why the district is listed as isolated.
Denniston said an evidence-based study could lead to legislation that would not buck the state Supreme Court's Lake View ruling, which legislators are eager to not have reopened.
