Cabot School District advances K–6 hybrid charter application to state
Summary
District director Aaron Randolph told the board the K–6 hybrid charter application has been submitted to DESE after community meetings; the model proposes two in-person days per week with Fridays optional and a charter amendment to be filed by Oct. 1.
Aaron Randolph updated the Cabot School Board that district leaders have taken steps to pursue a K–6 hybrid charter school model and have submitted an application to the Arkansas Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
Randolph said community meetings were held to solicit input and that the proposed schedule would have students attend in-person two days per week, with Fridays offered as optional. He told the board the district plans to submit a charter amendment to DESE by Oct. 1 as part of the application process.
Why it matters: A hybrid charter would change instructional schedules and could affect staffing, transportation and family routines if approved. Board consideration and state review are required before any program launch.
The board packet notes the application steps and outreach conducted; no formal vote on the charter application was recorded at this meeting.
