Happy to sign a bill that will use tobacco settlement funds to address the needs of those on the developmentally disabled waitlist in Arkansas.
It's been far too long since action has been taken to reduce the DD waitlist. I’m pleased that this is the first bill from my 2017 legislative package to be signed into law.

What a humbling experience it was to be named 2016 Arkansan of the Year by Easter Seals Arkansas. I’m delighted to be working to support Easter Seals as they open doors and create opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. And what a special privilege it was to meet these fine young people this morning! I’m truly honored.

I am excited to join the Arkansas Department of Education to announce the R.I.S.E. (Reading Initiative for Student Excellence) Arkansas reading initiative.
R.I.S.E. Arkansas will build a culture of reading through stakeholder collaboration and provide additional instructional support to current and future teachers.
Reading and literacy skills are vital for success in the classroom and life in general. For students looking toward a degree or new career path, high-level liter...acy skills are essential. For these reasons, I am pleased to support Commissioner Key and the Department of Education's R.I.S.E. Arkansas campaign to increase student success and build a culture of reading throughout Arkansas.
The goal of the campaign is to increase the number of students in grades three through eight who meet the ACT Aspire reading readiness benchmark by 10 percent within three years; rise above the bottom third in state comparisons within five years on the fourth-grade NAEP reading assessment; and increase the number of graduates meeting The ACT reading readiness benchmark by 10 percent within five years.
