Gov. Sarah Sanders signed into law Wednesday (March 8) what she called “the biggest, boldest, most conservative education reforms in our history,” setting in motion a remaking of Arkansas education that will require an extensive rulemaking process.

Sanders signed the LEARNS Act into law in the second floor of the Capitol Rotunda flanked by legislators, including the bill’s primary sponsors, Sen. Breanne Davis, R-Russellville, and Rep. Keith Brooks, R-Little Rock.

“I’m proud that the bill I’m about to sign is the largest overhaul of our state’s education system in Arkansas history because it frankly could not get here soon enough,” Sanders said. “We’ve seen how the status quo condemns Arkansans to a lifetime of poverty, and we’re tired of sitting at the bottom of national education rankings.”
