Memo Text
Smart Core is Arkansas's college and career-ready graduation requirements for high school students. Schools need to provide information about Smart Core to their students while developing Student Success Plans and planning course pathways for graduation. Attached you will find the updated Smart Core informational form and Smart Core Waiver form.
Schools will only need to have students/parents sign waiver forms if students are opting out of Smart Core. Please feel free to call Thomas Coy (501-682-4250) or email (Thomas.coy@arkansas.gov) should you have any questions related to these requirements.
