About
Central Education Renewal Zone
In 2003 the Arkansas General Assembly established Education Renewal Zones across the state to promote collaboration among public schools, education service cooperatives, colleges and universities, as well as parents and community members.
The Central ERZ was created in 2005 to address specific needs of eight schools within the Little Rock School District and two schools within the Magnolia Public Schools. Located on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the Central ERZ’s mission is to work in partnership with students, families, and the community to ensure that each student acquires the knowledge, skills, and core values necessary to achieve personal success and to enrich the community. Centralizing resources allows schools in the Central ERZ to access instructional, financial, cultural, and technological support.
