October Lecture Series | Baker Kurrus
ABOUT
Care to hear someone who really knows what they are talking about when it comes to Arkansas LEARNS? You’re invited to have lunch with Baker Kurrus, former superintendent of the Little Rock School District. With his wealth of experience in public education, Kurrus is the state’s most articulate critic of the governor's Arkansas LEARNS Act. He passionately argues that the figures don’t add up and the state is headed towards an irreversible dismantling of our public schools statewide.

About the Arkansas Times Lecture Series
Our monthly speaker series brings newsmakers, policymakers, and seasoned political observers together for a behind-the-scenes look at the most pressing issues facing Arkansas. These lunch lectures raise money for the Arkansas Times Investigative Journalism Project. 100% of the proceeds will support expanding our newsroom, ensuring our capacity to hold leaders accountable and keep Arkansans informed.
With a shifting political landscape and critical decisions looming, the need for in-depth, unbiased reporting has never been greater. Your support enables us to grow our staff and strengthen our investigative capacity, making the Arkansas Times a vital journalistic watchdog.

In-person tickets are $100 and include lunch in the private dining room at the Copper Grill. Attendance is capped at 75, and previous events have sold out—so please don’t wait to secure your seat. Doors open at 11:30, and the Copper Grill buffet begins immediately afterward. The guest speaker will start shortly before noon, followed by a Q&A session. We will wrap up by 1 p.m. Virtual tickets are $50, providing you with Zoom access to the event and the opportunity to stay informed, no matter where you are.
