Arkansas Education Association President Carol B. Fleming said Thursday that people who watched Arkansas Education Secretary Jacob Oliva s virtual “town hall” about the state’s new omnibus education law "walked away from the event with more questions than ever."
The day after Arkansas Education Secretary Jacob Oliva fielded questions at a virtual “town hall” session about the state’s new omnibus education law, the president of the state’s largest teacher union said the answers were inadequate.
Arkansas Education Secretary Jacob Oliva vowed Wednesday that the rules for the new Arkansas LEARNS Act will prevent people from abusing public funding for private school tuition and home school expenses: "We re not going to let bad actors ruin a great program."
