The Education Renewal Zone Initiative

Identify and implement education and management strategies designed specifically to improve public school performances and student academic achievement throughout the State of Arkansas, with special focus on the state's most academically distressed public schools.  Provide for collaboration among the state's smaller schools and districts in order to achieve some of the advantages of economies of scale in providing educational and related activities.  Maximize benefits and outcomes of public schooling by concentrating and coordination the resources of Arkansas's higher education institutions, the expertise of the regional education service cooperatives, and the technical assistance of other service providers to improve public school performance and student academic achievement and enable small, rural, and low-wealth schools to make the best use of the latest cost-effective distance learning technology to enhance curricula and professional development through two-way interactive learning environments.
