There's a program that helps eighth-grade students plan their high school coursework and discover career options. There's also a program to help 10th-grade students prepare for postsecondary education, training and work. As the school year starts, I think we can all agree that better compensation to attract good teachers and an expanded Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship program will result in a much better Arkansas. I hope the Legislature will work with me when the session starts in January to make education our priority. When you go to the polls in November, you should be aware of where the various candidates stand on education issues.
Nothing is more important for our state's future.
Until next week, this is Gov. Mike Huckabee.
