Sanders' Statement on Arkansas LEARNS Bill Filing

Statement

Today, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the following statement after the Arkansas LEARNS bill was filed:

"Arkansas is making history today with the introduction of my signature Arkansas LEARNS legislation -- the biggest, most far-reaching, conservative education reform in America, and exactly what our state needs to take our education system to the top. Once Arkansas LEARNS passes, minimum teacher pay will go from one of the lowest to one of the highest in the nation, parents will be empowered to choose whatever school is best for their family, and our students will finally be back to learning the basics of reading, writing, science, math, and history and put on a pathway to success. I'm thankful to every senator and representative who cosponsored and helped introduce this bill and for the broad support from my Republican partners in the legislature. Now, let's get Arkansas LEARNS passed and signed into law, making a generational impact on the people of our state and setting the standard for our country."
