AR-GOV: Love (D) vows order halting school vouchers if elected Arkansas governor

[RandySF]

Democratic state Sen. Fred Love said Friday he would issue an executive order halting the administration of Arkansas’ school voucher program if elected governor in November.

The term-limited legislator made his remarks during a gubernatorial candidate debate with Libertarian nominee Colt Shelby that covered education, prisons, data centers and government transparency.

“As the executive of the state, my department of education will not administer EFA accounts,” Love said. “But what we will do is we will reinvest that money into the public education system because that’s where the money should go in the first place.”

Created by a 2023 education law backed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Educational Freedom Account program provides state funding for allowable education expenses, such as private school tuition.
