Educational Renewal Zone

In 2003 the Arkansas General Assembly established Education Renewal Zones across the state to promote collaboration among public schools, education service cooperatives, colleges and universities, and parents and communities.


The Western Arkansas Education Renewal Zone was established in 2005 to address the needs of schools in Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Sebastian, Logan, and Scott counties. Located on the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 campus, the Western Arkansas ERZ's objective is to improve student achievement. Centralizing resources among ERZ partners allows schools in Western Arkansas greater access to instructional, financial, cultural, and technological support.

香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播's ERZ office is located in Echols 109 and is led by Robyn Dawson. She can be reached by phone at 479-788-7356 or email at Robyn.Dawson@uafs.edu.
