What is the Northwest Arkansas Education Renewal Zone (ERZ)?

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, and parents and communities.

The Northwest Arkansas ERZ was established in 2005 to address the needs of schools in Washington, Benton and Madison counties and is located on the campus of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. The Northwest Arkansas ERZ's objective is to improve student achievement. Centralizing resources allows schools in Northwest Arkansas access to financial, cultural and technological support.
