Arkansas is seeking federal approval for a Unified Education Plan that streamlines accountability, reduces administrative burden, and puts education decisions back in the hands of local districts, educators, and families. Built on the foundation of the Arkansas LEARNS Act, the plan aligns state and federal systems to focus on what matters most—student achievement, growth, and readiness for life after high school.
This session provides an overview of the Unified Education Plan, the federal flexibilities being requested, and how these changes support districts in directing time and resources toward students rather than compliance. Attendees will learn how Arkansas’ accountability system, reporting innovations like the AR App, and LEARNS investments work together to support a student-first, locally powered education system.
