Arkansas Attorney General certifies ballot language for Educational Rights Amendment of 2026, aiming to align public and private school standards.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has certified the ballot language for the Educational Rights Amendment of 2026, which seeks to reform public education in the state. Sponsored by For AR Kids, the amendment will require public and private schools receiving state funds to meet the same standards. This move comes in response to concerns about the LEARNS Act, enacted in 2023, which critics say allows private schools to bypass certain public school requirements.
