Around the capitol today:
- Isolated school areas will have to wait longer for more funding help. A bill to send those areas almost 5 million more dollars has been pulled down as lawmakers work to redefine "isolated."
- The bill calling for one superintendent per county has been amended. It now calls for 2 years worth of study on a plan that keeps superintendents in charge of academics and put a chancellor in charge of the business affairs of all the schools in a county.
- The governor`s blasting the general assembly`s swift decision to let voters choose to add video gaming at the state`s two racetracks. He says if lawmakers had moved as quickly to rectify problems with the state`s school system....Arkansas would have the best one in the nation.
