The Education Renewal Zone Initiative

In 2003, the Arkansas General Assembly established Education Renewal Zones across the state to promote collaboration among public schools, education service cooperatives, colleges and universities, and parents and communities.

The Arkansas State University ERZ was established in 2007 to address the needs of schools in northeast and eastern Arkansas. Located on the campus of the Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, the ASU  ERZ’s objective is to improve student achievement. Collaboration among partners allows schools in eastern Arkansas to access instructional, financial, cultural, and technological support.

Please feel free to call or email us with any questions or requests.
