Ahead of Friday’s deadline for the six schools offering an Advanced Placement African American studies course to submit all class materials to the state Department of Education, the organization that produced the course told teachers and administrators it had submitted all the items it had developed for it. Education Department Secretary Jacob Oliva directed superintendents to provide the materials in aletter sent Aug. 21 . The districts were also required to submit a “statement of assurance” that the teaching of the materials “will not violate Arkansas law or rule.” The deadline Oliva set in the letter was Friday at noon, about 2½ weeks after superintendents received the directive.
