Advancing Creative Solutions to Assure Fairness and Excellence in Education
 

Our message is simple: whether it is good or bad times, the education of all our children – including poor, African American, and Latino children – cannot be deferred. For the sake of all Arkansas, the state must set a new course, a new direction in public education.
Miles To Go: Arkansas (2002)
