The afternoon at Joint Conference was also packed with great sessions, including a visit from Education Secretary Jacob Oliva. Robin Stripling presented "Inclusive Practices & Student Focus). Lake Hamilton Superintendent Shawn Higginbotham and Business Manager Kelli Golden discussed potential revenue losses for school districts and offered some guidance for managing those losses. Dr. Tony Prothro and Dr. Mike Hernandez concluded the program with insight into the Arkansas LEARNS Act and what districts need to keep on their radar.
The partnership between AAEA & ASBA brought a large group of school board members and school administrators together both in-person and virtually for the 27th annual joint leadership conference.
