Arkansas ranks #3 in education freedom: Why it matters for students and parents

On the January 22 segment of The Steve Finnegan Show on Newsradio 102.9 KARN, Opportunity Arkansas Policy Director J. Robertson discusses Arkansas’s rise as a national leader in education freedom. Arkansas now ranks #3 in the nation for education freedom according to a recent ranking. Education freedom is breaking generational cycles that trapped students in underperforming schools based solely on their zip code. Education freedom empowers parents to choose what works best for their children—regardless of income or location. Nearly 50,000 students are already using Education Freedom Accounts, with demand exceeding expectations and the legislature stepping in to fully fund the program. This program is delivering results and providing savings for taxpayers. Arkansas should be proud—and now is the time to defend education freedom and keep putting students first.
