Hogan Gidley, Vice Chair of the Center for Election Integrity & Senior Advisor for Strategic Communications at the America First Policy Institute, will be the keynote speaker for Academic Signing Day (ASD) in El Dorado, celebrating around 300 graduating seniors receiving the El Dorado Promise scholarship. The event will take place on Tuesday, April 9, at 1:15 PM, in the El Dorado High School (EHS) Wildcat Arena.
El Dorado High School graduates attending college with the help of the El Dorado Promise won’t have to wait much longer for their first fall semester tuition payments to start coming in, Superintendent Jim Tucker said Tuesday, after local parents raised concerns about the checks’ timing.
Editor s note: The city of Pine Bluff is undertaking a transformation in the Pine Bluff and Watson Chapel school districts and trying again to renew and add sales taxes to fund capital improvements and support police officers and firefighters in a Nov. 14 election. Meanwhile, El Dorado residents have enjoyed changes for the better since 2007, which include the "Promise" of a free or less-expensive education and a series of sales taxes leading to a more vibrant community.
