LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Today, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the following statement after the Arkansas Supreme Court issued a ruling confirming that the Arkansas LEARNS Act was passed with a valid emergency clause:
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling in favor of the LEARNS Act is a historic victory for Arkansas parents, teachers, and students, and a crushing defeat for the partisan extremists who tried to undermine our kids’ futures. My administration will continue to implement our transformational reforms which empower parents to choose the best school for their family, prohibit indoctrination, raise teacher pay from one of the lowest to one of the best in the nation, and invest in pre-k, early literacy, and career and technical education so every Arkansan can find a good job in their community.”
