The Arkansas Department of Education is presenting education leaders with guidance on how to comply with Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders' executive order from Jan. 10 that "prohibits indoctrination and critical race theory in schools."
The 15-page presentation for school district leaders, dated May 3, includes what is marked as a "draft" statement of assurance -- to be signed annually by superintendents -- that their school districts comply with the governor's executive order and all other laws "with respect to the prohibition of indoctrination and teaching of critical race theory."
Kimberly Mundell, a spokeswoman for the state agency, said Tuesday that the agency's presentation restates the requirements about prohibited topics that are in the Arkansas LEARNS Act, or Act 237 that Sanders initiated.
