BREAKING: 94% of Arkansas’ teacher training programs received an A grade - preparing educators to teach the science of reading, not the latest woke fad coming out of grad schools. That’s what happens when you’re no longer comfortable with mediocrity. teacherquality.nctq.org/revi…

The Arkansas Legislature just funded another year of universal education freedom. That means Higher test scores. More learning pathways. Students reading at and above grade level. The freedom to choose whatever school best fits your kid.

3 million Arkansans. That’s who this year’s budget keeps at its center. Next week, we’ll go four-for-four on tax cuts—cutting state income taxes by 25%. The result is a stronger Arkansas built on: ✅ Strong schools ✅ Smart spending ✅ Working families first

When I signed Arkansas LEARNS, we prioritized putting career and technical education in every single high school in the state. Today, more students than ever are on the path to a job in a high-growth, high-wage industry. That’s the power of LEARNS.
