State Capitol hosts School Choice Celebration Rally

February 1-7, 2016

On Thursday, Jan. 28, hundreds of students, parents, teachers, and community leaders gathered at the State Capitol to celebrate opportunity in education. Arkansas Representative Douglas House, one of the many speakers present, talked about the benefits of the Succeed Scholarship Program, which came out of HB 1552. This scholarship program allows all public school students with an individualized education plan the option of attending a private school through scholarship. It will go into affect starting with the 2016-17 school year. (Photo by Becca Bona)
