University of Central Arkansas President Lu Hardin announced last week that a Walton foundation grant of $426,141 will be used to plan for and develop an Arkansas Public School Resource Center. The establishment of the partnership between the Walton foundation and UCA follows the closure in January of the Arkansas Charter School Resource Center, also a Walton foundation-funded operation, at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. The new center will assist both public charter schools and traditional public school districts in rural communities.
