The Arkansas Legislative Session will begin on January 11th, 2021. The Arkansas Rural Education Association will provide updates, a physical presence at the Capitol, monitor Education Committee Meetings, provide Advocacy services for member schools and Arkansas Students.
After our Board Meeting last week about the Legislative agenda:
We support the 15 million enhanced teacher salary funding for small schools. We support funding minimum wage. We support the hold harmless funding for foundation and categorical funding.
Arkansas was featured by National Rural Education Association and I Am A Rural Teacher as a part of their 50 States in 50 Weeks project! This project demonstrates how vast rural America really is.
