Genoa Central uses high school aides to ease crowded classes
Genoa Central School in Miller County uses high school students from grades 9 12 as student aides to help younger pupils during study hall periods. The program aims to relieve overcrowding as families move from city to rural areas. The plan, developed with the Southwest Arkansas Diagnostic and Remedial Services Center, requires aides to maintain at least a C average and good conduct. Elementary teachers assign aides to groups, some guiding lesson plans while others grade papers and provide individual help. Officials say the approach gives teachers more time for at risk students and that early results are positive and may be adopted by other districts if successful.

Petitions Hinge On 1969 DWI and Liquor Records
Kennedy acknowledged a 1969 DWI plea and a later 1969 untaxed liquor arrest with fines. Petition validity hinges on 16 percent of 1968 city votes, about 446 signatures. Kennedy claims over 500. If valid, Mayor Douglas will issue a proclamation for a special election within at least 80 days. The article notes government form-change rules and the city clerk’s verification process.
