Ms. Janet Hines, Vice President of the Beebe School Board, is serving her second round as a school board member, with a total of eleven years. She was on the Beebe School when the Beebe/ McRae annexation took place. Ms. Hines is a very compassionate individual who is concerned with the whole child. The Badger Food Pantry developed from an idea Ms. Hines presented to the board. She is a lifelong Beebe area resident who graduated from the Beebe School District. Ms. Hines’ older children progressed through the district several years ago, and now, her three youngest children are attending Beebe. Ms. Hines is a caring individual who looks for ways to promote and plan for the District’s future growth.

In honor of School Board Recognition month, we will be spotlighting a Board Member each week.
Mr. Harold Davis, Beebe School Board President, has fifteen years on the school board and has been extremely involved in the growth of the district. As a former McRae School Board Member, Mr. Davis played a large part in the districts’ annexation. With a business background, Mr. Davis is often able to give the business perspective with decisions and purchases. He is also very technology minded and thinks progressively toward the District’s vision. Having three children attend the District has given him a well-rounded, district-level perspective from pre-k – twelfth grade. He is always interested in progress, and especially academic success by providing more opportunities for Beebe students.
Beebe Public Schools is excited to announce we have been approved for Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI Days) for the 2017-2018 school year. Act 862 allows school districts and open-enrollment public charter schools to develop a plan for alternative methods of instruction to be used on days when the district must be closed due to exceptional or emergency circumstances. Beebe Public Schools submitted the application for up to five (5) days and it was approved by the Arkansas Department of Education for the 2017-2018 school year.
