Communications
Overview
The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) Office of Communications works daily to keep Arkansans informed of the operations of the ADE and of educational issues, events and achievements that occur year-round in the state.
In addition to disseminating news releases, the Office of Communications is responsible for creating and maintaining the ADE Web site – ArkansasEd.org – as well as publishing an external newsletter, Arkansas Education Matters, the Arkansas Department of Education Directory and additional education-related publications.
The office’s Media Center is responsible for photography, videography and production of PowerPoints and other presentation materials for ADE.
Through these means, the Office of Communications strives to provide information to news media and the public in an accurate and timely manner.
ADE Briefs Blog
To keep you as up-to-date as possible with news in education and happenings at the Arkansas Department of Education, we have a new electronic publication, ADE Briefs. This blog-type feature will replace Arkansas Education Matters, our monthly electronic newsletter, and it will be updated as needed (so often, but not necessarily daily!) That way, we can provide information on a more timely basis.
We’ll also provide links from here to news releases, PowerPoints and video presentations as soon after they are presented as possible. ADE Briefs will not take the place of Commissioner’s Memos, though, so remember to check those out daily.
