Commissioner Key Discusses New Federal Education Law

Officials with the Arkansas Department of Education will form a committee within several months with broad representation to develop a state plan for schools, Commissioner of Education Johnny Key said Thursday. The department will identify educators at all levels to participate in subgroups of that committee, Key said. The state plan will respond to the federal Every Student Succeeds Act that passed in December. The plan will serve as the department's agenda when the state Legislature meets in 2017, Key said.
