Virtual town hall will highlight educational options available in Arkansas

 

Panelists will talk about the unique educational experiences faced by K-12 students with learning disabilities, in foster care and from military families. They will share experiences with the Succeed Scholarship program and the latest updates on other educational opportunities for Arkansas students, like the recently passed Philanthropic Investment in Arkansas Kids tax credit scholarship program. 

 

Rachel Hubbard from Second Chance Youth Ranch, Jody Bergstrom from Camp Alliance, Courtney Williams from the Compass Academy and Cheri Stevenson from Access Academy will serve on the panel. TRA Managing Director Emmy Henley will moderate the discussion.

 

“Some families are desperately looking for help for students whose needs are not being met in their current learning environments,” Henley said. “We want to make sure these families know about options and have accurate information so they are able to make informed decisions that would improve their education experience.”
