Laurie Lee, The Reform Alliance Chair, says alternative models of learning are beneficial to the state.
“Families will have access to their education dollars to be able to take their kids and put them in education models that work best for their children,” Lee said.

“If we’re talking about private schools and scholarships and tax vouchers in order to attend a private school, then we’re looking at taking public funds from public schools,” Carol Fleming, the Arkansas Education Association president, said.
