    WEEK 4 UPDATE February 5, 2021 The fourth week of the Session continued with the first real sign of working together between the Executive and Legislative branches. As can only happen in Arkansas, it came in the form of an announcement that the University of Arkansas and Arkansas State University will play football in 2025! Representative Jack Ladyman (R, Jonesboro) took a point of personal privilege to go to the well of the House at the same time it was being announced on the Senate floor. Both of those speeches as well as articles in the newspapers on Thursday referenced the involvement of members of the General Assembly as well as Governor Hutchinson. Applause broke out in the chambers when the announcement was made! Liquor continued to be a topic this week, but instead of trains, it was delivery. SB 32 by Senator Jane English and Rep. Karilyn Brown was amended in House Rules on Wednesday to include breweries and microbreweries along with retail liquor stores to allow their employees to deliver alcohol to customers in wet counties. This has been allowed during the emergency declaration. The bill originally only carried this forward for liquor stores, but breweries and microbreweries had to be amended into to the bill in order to get the necessary votes in House Rules Committee. So far, Committee Chairs have been sticking to the rules of not hearing bills that were not on the agenda. However, in House Public Health Thursday, the Chairman explained that there had been some “miscommunication” that kept a bill off the regular agenda.

  • Creating the Schools Our Students Deserve
    EDUCATOR’S GUIDE TO THE 92ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY: CREATING THE SCHOOLS OUR STUDENTS DESERVE The Arkansas Education Association is a professional organization for teachers, ed- ucation support professionals, students and advocates. Our fundamental objective is to work for quality and equitable public education for all of Arkansas students, the betterment of the Arkansas state education system and quality working condi- tions for educators. WHY DOES POLITICAL ACTION MATTER? Almost every aspect of a school employee’s job is determined by appointed or elected officials. • School funding/resources for students • Class sizes • How student test scores are used • Privatizing services • Due process rights • Retirement and health benefits • Wages If we want to exert some control over the issues that are important to us, our family, our profession, and our community, we need to know: Who are the appointed and elected decision makers? What information do they have BEFORE they make their decisions? As AEA members, our job is to be sure that the policymakers at the local, state and federal levels hear directly from us on education issues. We know what students need to succeed. If we are absent from the process, we will allow import- ant decisions about education to be determined by people who may have never set foot into a classroom or worked with a student. This guide will provide you with information about Arkansas legislators, how to contact them, how the state legislative process works and how to help them make the right decisions for your students and your profession. It will also serve as a guide for educators to find your way around the Capitol.
