The Arkansas Educational Rights Amendment of 2026
Plain-English Summary
This proposed amendment aims to guarantee voluntary universal access to PreK for 3 to 4-year-olds, after-school and summer programs, quality special education, and wrap-around services for children within 200 percent of the federal poverty line. An identical ballot title failed to meet signature requirements in the current year.
What each outcome does
If the amendment passes, the Arkansas Constitution would be changed to guarantee voluntary universal PreK for 3-4 year olds, after-school and summer programs, quality special education, and wrap-around services for eligible children.
If the amendment fails, the Arkansas Constitution would not be changed to include these educational guarantees, and current state laws regarding these services would remain in effect.
