The Arkansas Council for Military Children is conducting an online survey of military families in Arkansas. This survey is used to collect information on the needs of military families and to determine how well military families are being served by certain education-related programs in Arkansas. No personal information will be collected in this survey. Survey results will be used to identify trends needing improvement and to assist in developing solutions.
Please share this survey with military families in your school districts or on your installations and encourage them to take survey. It should only take about ten minutes. The survey will remain open through the end of November 2023.
