  • 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.

Hutchinson and Randy Zook visit after Hutchinson’s signing of Act 576 Legislation adopted by the 92nd General Assembly will enhance the vitality of the Arkansas business community for years to come. Governor Asa Hutchinson said this about the session, “I think I would make the claim that this last legislative session was the GOAT ... the greatest of all time.” We’ll leave it to historians to rank the sessions, but multiple issues we’ve worked on for more than a decade were adopted. For employers, the most significant changes will be a reduction in corporate, individual and unemployment insurance taxes, which will provide at least $100 million per year in savings! Arkansas Advantage 2030 In 2015, the Arkansas State Chamber/AIA commissioned a study to identify the critical areas that needed to be improved to make Arkansas more competitive. “Arkansas Advantage 2030” identified four areas that Arkansas must improve to increase its competitiveness with other states: Improve Worker Readiness Goal: Give Arkansas Businesses a Competitive Advantage by Having the Best Trained and Educated Workforce for the Jobs of the Future 2019 Legislative Agenda Improve the Arkansas Business Climate Our 2019 Legislative Agenda addressed issues from the Arkansas Goal: Move Arkansas into the Best (Top 15) ranked States for Advantage 2030 study.
