Following a new amendment, which maintains the cap on the state's charter schools, the Arkansas House gave approval to House Bill 1504. Initially, the House rejected the measure last Monday, but approved it two days later once the amendment to keep the cap was created. Rep. Kevin Anderson says the proposal will still seek to remove a requirement that charter schools be distributed equally among the state's four congressional districts. The proposal to double the number of charter schools faced significant opposition from the Arkansas Education Association which claimed lifting the cap would negatively impact traditional public schools.
