Welcome to Warren, Arkansas
Quick Search Full Search Looking for quality of life, a business climate that fosters growth and neighbors you can call friends? Look no further than Bradley County, just an hour and a half drive south from Little Rock. Warren, Hermitage and Banks are the incorporated communities within Bradley County. Low business costs, convenient industrial sites, multi-modal transportation access, excellent work force availability and relations, progressive leadership, quality education opportunities and an outstanding quality of life create an ideal climate for success. Community commitment to economic development is evident with a new one-cent city-wide sales tax passed in 1994 in the city of Warren with 78% support. Half of the revenue is dedicated to economic development; the remaining half is committed to increasing police and fire protection, improving city streets, and building a new sports complex. Bradley County is famous for its tall pines and pink tomatoes. The Bradley County Pink is the world's best-tasting tomato. Schedule your visit during the summer harvest - and the Pink Tomato Festival at Warren in June - and you're in for delicious good times. A trip to Warren also puts you in the midst of Arkansas' great outdoors: tall pines, bottomland hardwoods, cypress sloughs - we've got it all. And that includes terrific hunting and fishing opportunities as well.

Overview
Arkansas's public telecommunications infrastructure is still in its nascent stage. However, 1995 was a watershed year for telecommunications-related legislation. In a recent Southwestern Bell rate case before the state's Public Service Commission, it was stipulated that overearnings will be used to upgrade infrastructure in state hospitals and schools. In a recent SW Bell rate case before the state's Public Utilities Commission, it was stipulated that overearnings will be used to upgrade infrastructure in hospitals and schools in state.
Legislation
1995 Ark. SB 417 (Act 737) created the Telecommunications and Information Technology Fund and established the Joint Legislative Committee on Advanced Communications and Information Technology, which will review legislation pertaining to telecommunications and public information access and study issues relating to the development of a statewide telecommunications network. The act also created the Governor's Telecommunications and Information Technology Advisory Board, which will work with the Joint Legislative Committee. Act 1052 appropriated $2 million to develop a strategic plan for the establishment of a statewide distance learning and telemedicine network.

HOME LAWS ORGANIZATIONS CASES ... HEADLINES March 17, 2003 Arkansas Legislation Would Require Homeschools to Prove They Provide "Quality" Education The freedom to homeschool is in Arkansas is in danger. On March 10, 2003, Representative John Lewellen introduced House Bill 2518 in the Arkansas General Assembly. This bill would grant to the State Board of Education more authority over homeschools than has ever been granted to a state agency by any other legislature in the nation! The language of the bill authorizes the State Board of Education "to undertake measures to ensure that home school students receive a quality education." This carte blanche authority means that the State Board of Education could impose on families whatever requirements it considers necessary for home school students to receive a quality education. Government bureaucrats, not parents, will define "quality education." More specifically, House Bill 2518 would make the following changes in the current law:

60. The Study Circles Resource Center: Arkansas Study Circles Receive Two-Year Grant
provide their ideas for the legislativelymandated arkansas Blue Ribbon to help shapeits recommendations on education reform to the state s general Assembly
http://www.studycircles.org/pages/success/speakup.html
Arkansas Study Circles Project Receives Two-Year Grant for Education Reform Conversations
The Arkansas Study Circles Project has been awarded a significant grant from the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation to continue its work in helping launch study circles on education in communities throughout the state.
The Arkansas Supreme Court recently upheld a lower court ruling that Arkansas public schools were both inadequate and inequitable in the delivery of education to the schoolchildren of the state. The Arkansas Study Circles Project is part of the Arkansas School Boards Association Educational Foundation. The organization has been the driving force for launching study circles to engage Arkansans in meaningful conversations about improving education for the state's 500,000 schoolchildren.
The grant, for nearly a quarter-million dollars over the next two years, will help the organization launch numerous study circles throughout the state to engage Arkansans in an effort to improve their public schools.
The organization used the model, with help from the Study Circles Resource Center, to help shape a massive one-night event last April to discuss the question: "What do we want our schools to do to educate our children." The event, called "Speak Up, Arkansas!" was developed between mid-January until April 4, when 6,000 people at 91 sites came together to provide their ideas for the legislatively-mandated Arkansas Blue Ribbon Commission on Public Education. The concerns that were articulated that night by Arkansans were collected and submitted to the Commission to help shape its recommendations on education reform to the state's General Assembly.
