Leadership Clark County III - Education

Today was LCC III’s education session. We began the morning at Henderson’s Community Education Center, which has all types of vocational training available for community residents. This center was founded by a friend of my family, Ed Redenbaugh, who did one heck of a job.

We then visited Perritt Primary School and learned about the health of the Arkadelphia Public School system. As a father, I was encouraged to learn that test scores are way up within the system over the past six years. I also hear there is an exciting new education announcement in the works for our schools…

We wrapped up the day downtown at Dawson Eduction Co-op, where we heard about the state of both universities. Enrollment is up on both campuses, which signifies growth of one of our most valuable resources.

During the late afternoon session, our four groups pitched three projects, two of which will be selected by our group at large. Look for some exciting things to happen in Clark County over the next year!

Wet day, wet vote

Yesterday brought more much-needed rain than we’ve had in months, and the wet weather foreshadowed the results of our vote last night. The final tally: 56% wet to 44% dry. Congratulations, Clark County, now let’s move forward together!

Today’s Election Day

Regardless of your political leanings, please go vote. It’s the most important and least time-consuming civic activity you can do.

Last day of early voting...

“Prohibition… goes beyond the bounds    of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a    crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very    principles upon which our government was founded.” —commonly attributed to Abraham Lincoln c. 1840

Today’s the last day of early voting, and we’re encouraging everyone to beat the rain tomorrow by voting at the Clark County Courthouse today. Remember to vote FOR the Clark County Initiative on the last page.

If you’re registered to vote in Clark County, don’t miss your chance to bring about historic change and an opportunity for sustainable growth in our county!
