Arkansas public school system under economic stress
Dr. Howard A. Dawson, statistics expert for the state department of education, warns that the Arkansas public school system faces severe financial strain after six decades under an old bond and tax framework. He cites a total district indebtedness near 28 million dollars, shrinking revenues from income and cigarette taxes, and a hoped for oil rebound as essential to avoid widespread operating cuts. The outlook shows many districts hurting, with bond payments and sinking funds consuming about 18 percent of available funds, leaving little for current school operations.
