Arkadelphia Public Schools hosted the Arkansas School Board Association (ASBA) Region 10 Fall Meeting at Peake Elementary School on Thursday evening. Region 10 consists of school boards from Clark, Garland, Hot Spring, Montgomery, and Pike. The dinner meeting provided a crucial chance to connect and collaborate, featuring perspectives from local legislators and an insightful panel of regional school board members discussing real-world challenges unique to our communities. Five of our school board members attended the meeting. Zone 6 Board Representative Clark Tennyson was recognized with a Certificate of Boardsmanship for completing 25 hours of approved training. Thank you to our food service, SFE, for providing a delicious meal, and to Peake Elementary and district staff for your efforts in preparation for hosting this evening.
