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
Arkansas' College & Career Coach program connects students to opportunities through hands-on experiences, career counseling, & mentorship. Career coaches encourage students to find a path that matches their skills and desires. 🗂️📍📚
