ADE Briefs

The Arkansas Department of Education is excited to welcome Dr. Tom Kimbrell as commissioner of education. Dr. Kimbrell is a familiar face to many in Arkansas public education circles as he has worked as a teacher/coach, principal and superintendent in Arkansas schools before becoming head of the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators.
The Arkansas State Board of Education voted to hire Dr. Kimbrell while in executive session during today’s board meeting, and the governor confirmed and announced it at a 10 a.m. press conference at the Capitol.
Dr. Kimbrell will begin work at ADE on September 28.
