Governor Huckabee is limiting his public
appearances this week, but legislators involved in education
improvements are seeing a lot of the governor.
Huckabee spokesman Rex Nelson says the governor is spending much
of the week behind closed doors this week on an effort to build
support for his education initiative.
The Senate is working on a compromise to Huckabee`s reform plan.
The compromise would lower the minimum enrollment threshold for
possible high school consolidation from the 425 student high school
size advocated by Huckabee to a 500 student school district size.
Huckabee says he`ll call a special session to start December
eighth. The state is under a deadline of January first to put an
improvement plan in place.
