Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families and others today released a report on the state’s efforts to improve education since the 2002 Lake View ruling. They report progress. They also report continuing racial and socioeconomic gaps in achievement.
Recommendations? Plenty. Better teachers. More early childhood education. School clinics. Extended day programs. Charter schools that focus on racial and economic disparities (in other words, not just provide safe havens from public schools for demographic groups not in need of extra help.)
