Second Lady Usha Vance to Visit Arkansas on Tuesday
The visit will include classroom tours, an assembly and a reception honoring Arkansas Merit Teacher Incentive Funds recipients.
- On Tuesday, Second Lady Usha Vance joined Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in North Little Rock, visiting Glenview Elementary School to tour classrooms, host an education roundtable, and lead a student assembly.
- The visit focused on the LEARNS Act, Sanders' signature 2023 education reform bill, which Education Secretary Jacob Oliva called the "greatest reform comprehensive bill that the United States has ever seen."
- Vance read the 1991 children's book "Chrysanthemum" to students during the assembly, while Sanders praised the Second Lady for making literacy a "national focus" and the pair honored Merit Teacher Incentive Fund recipients.
- Following the school visit, Vance and Sanders hosted a reception at the Arkansas Governor's Mansion in Little Rock to honor teachers who received merit pay, with nearly 5,000 educators earning bonuses averaging around $3,300.
- Trump administration officials have frequently engaged with local districts, notably during the U.S. Department of Education's "History Rocks!" tour earlier this year, as Sanders emphasizes education initiatives in her ongoing reelection campaign.
