| Governor Mike Beebe's State of the State Address
PROPOSALS
Finance
-- Increase per-pupil funding by 2%.
-- Push more of the funding that comes into the state meant to close achievement gaps into active efforts to help students, while still allowing districts to save some funding in reserve.
Finance, Postsecondary
-- Increase higher education funding by 1% to help institutions with rising enrollment; ask administrators to be measured and modest when looking to raise tuition, as this funding increase will unlikely alone cover growing operational costs.
-- Tie funding for higher education institutions more closely to coursework completion and graduation rates, not simply to enrollment.
Postsecondary Completion
--Double the number of college graduates by 2025 in order to stay competitive.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Standards, Student Achievement
-- Acknowledge that stronger standards and increased funded are producing positive results; we've come from consistently settling among the bottom few states in the nation to number 6 in the nation for K-12 education.
