Educators, families and community members are invited to participate in an online survey to gather feedback regarding education funding and other education issues in Arkansas. Augenblick, Palaich and Associates (APA) is conducting a school finance study for the Arkansas House and Senate Education Committees. The Committees and APA believe that incorporating the perspective of educators and the community in Arkansas is essential to the study and will be gathering feedback on multiple study areas, including: •What it means for students to be college and career ready when they graduate, •Educational opportunities for students around the state, •How well districts and charter systems in the state can attract and retain staff, and •Education resources and funding in Arkansas, including the state education funding matrix and additional funding for specific student groups. The survey is open to all educators and the general public until September 18th and can be found at the following link: apasurvey.link/arkfeedback

JCSD-NECC Important Message Regarding Free School Breakfast/Lunch Forms: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Arkansas Department of Education announced Wednesday, September 3 that all students will be provided free lunch and breakfast until December 31, 2020 as a response to COVID-19. The school needs all parents to complete and return the free lunch forms that were sent home with your students at the beginning of the year so that when USDA’s waiver on paid lunch ends, we can resume our free and reduced lunch program. Also, free and reduced lunch percentages are used to calculate supplemental Federal and State special funding that supports educational programs. We ask all parents to complete forms and return them as soon as possible. We do not know if the waiver will be extended to include the second semester.
