The group behind an effort to put Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders education overhaul to a referendum is now claiming it has enough signatures to get the LEARNS Act on the ballot.
The group behind the effort to put Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders education overhaul to a referendum came up 747 signatures short Monday, according to the group s own estimate.
The three school-aged children of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and First Gentleman Bryan Sanders are not eligible for the state s Educational Freedom Accounts despite living in a neighborhood that is served by two F-graded schools.
More than 80 of Arkansas private and parochial schools have applied to date to participate in the state s new Educational Freedom Account Program, enabling eligible students to use taxpayer money to meet at least part of their tuition and other school costs in the 2023-24 school year.
