Research shows that public investments in education and development are more than seven times greater during the school-aged years ($5,410 per child) than during the early learning years ($740 per child). The years between birth and age 5 are the most important for a child's brain growth and development. During this period children are adjusting and becoming more familiar with the world around them. The actual growth of the brain occurs at this time and a foundation for learning has begun. It is during this time that a child's education and quality of care has the most impact. A RKANSAS Highlights of the State The School Readiness Initiative Partnership has established an outstanding coalition of state and non-profit agencies. This partnership has defined and targeted Arkansas School Readiness Indicators consisting of Ready Children, Ready Families, Ready Schools and Ready Communities. These indicators will be tracked regularly over time at state and local levels. A Getting Ready For School data report and a Kindergarten Readiness Checklist brochure have been published identifying the indicators for the state. Policy Issues * Act 49 of 2004 declared that $40 million go to preschool in the new funding formula for Arkansas' educational system.

All adults have right to obtain the life skills that they need to become self- sufficient, actively participating members of society. All adults have the right to complete their education through the high school level.

The Arkansas School Study Council was founded in 1960 under the leadership of Dr. Roy B. Allen. It only permitted certain school districts to join. After Dr. Allen's retirement in 1976, the Council was reorganized as a private non-profit corporation under a contract with the University of Arkansas. It is housed in the Educational Administration department of the College of Education which provides it with an Executive Secretary. It is governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Directors. Its Executive Secretary since 1976 has been Dr. Martin W. Schoppmeyer, University Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. The current President of the Arkansas School Study Council is Barton Hunter of Mt. Ida. Membership is by district and does vary according to district size. The Arkansas School Study Council engages in research on topics of interest to Arkansas schools. For the past several years the prime topic has been financial equity. Numerous reports have been issued on it and both the current Secretary and President have been witnesses in the two school finance cases. The directors try to attend the American Finance Association meeting each year and the Secretary regularly presents at least one paper at that meeting. The Council has one general meeting per year in conjunction wit the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators in the summer so that all members can attend. It issues a newsletter and results of its research during the school year.

A brief history of UAMS With a faculty of eight physicians and an enrollment of 20 students, the institution known today as the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences had a modest beginning. In 1879, the founding physicians of the fledgling medical education program in Little Rock sought an affiliation between the school and the Arkansas Industrial University; now the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. The first recipient of a medical degree was Tom M. Pinson, M.D. The only member of the class of 1880, he received his degree from the Governor at a ceremony for one graduate. In 1899, AIU in Fayetteville became the University of Arkansas and the medical program in Little Rock continued as its Medical Department. With continued growth in the program, the department became the School of Medicine in 1918. Although the names changed, the goals remained the same: to provide well-trained physicians for Arkansas, the region, and the nation. Decades later, other academic programs related to the practice of medicine were established the Graduate School (1943) and the Schools of Pharmacy (1951), Nursing (1953), and Health Related Professions (1971). In 1975, a reorganization plan created the University of Arkansas System. UAMS became a major part of that system, and the former schools were renamed colleges. The College of Public Health was established in 2001. UAMS provides clinical care to patients and is the only comprehensive teaching facility in the state for students pursuing medical and other health-care degree programs. A major referral center for seriously ill patients from throughout the state, UAMS provides access to world-class care from faculty physicians and superbly trained doctors, nurses, and other health-care professionals.

72. The Buford, Baxter County, Arkansas, School House At Mountain Village 1890 arkansas, and was in use in the Mountain Home, arkansas, public school system until broughthere and restored, it was near our own general Store when http://www.1890village.com/schoolhouse.htm

The School House Our 1890 Village schoolhouse was built in 1889 in Buford, Arkansas, and was in use in the Mountain Home, Arkansas, public school system until 1957. It was a one-room schoolhouse, housing all eight grades. Until it was brought here and restored, it was near our own General Store when both were located in Buford. During the late 1800s and even through the first half of the 1900s, girls in this area were generally better educated than boys. This was because the boys had to help out on the farm at planting and harvest times. In fact, most school terms were three months long at most in the country schools because all the available hands in the family were needed to help. In addition, the parents of the school district could usually get together enough money to pay the school teacher for only about three months. The teacher was probably a male, and he had absolute authority over all the students. He could spank a child who disobeyed, and the child could be sure of getting another spanking when he got home because he had disobeyed at school. One of the three doors on this building was appropriate for your use; but only one! The front door was for boys - they sat on the right side of the room. The side door at the front was for the girls, who sat on the left side. The side door at the rear was strictly for the use of the teacher.

Nov. 22, 2002 Policy E-Watch LAKE VIEW :  Kim Chavis, staff attorney in the Legislative Counsel's office, prepared the following summary of the Lake View order for members of the General Assembly: On May 25, 2001, Chancellor Collins Kilgore of the Chancery Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, Second Division, found that the school funding system of the State of Arkansas is inequitable under the Arkansas Constitution.  Key issues of the trial court's opinion were appealed to the Arkansas Supreme Court.  Below is a summary of the Supreme Court's Opinion on key issues. Adequacy The Court concludes that the State has not fulfilled its constitutional duty to provide the children of this state with a general, suitable, and efficient school-funding system. Accordingly, the Court holds that the current school-funding system violates the Education Article of the Arkansas Constitution, thereby affirming the trial court on this point. In reaching this conclusion the court states: In order that an amount of funding for an education system based on need and not on the amount available but on the amount necessary to provide an adequate educational system, the court concludes an adequacy study is necessary and must be conducted forthwith. An efficient system of education must have as its goal to provide each and every child with at least the seven following capacities: (i) sufficient oral and written communication skills to enable students to function in a complex and rapidly changing civilization;
