Welcome to AAAE

The Arkansas Association of Alternative Educators is an organization whose membership is made up of teachers and administrators responsible for providing effective education programs in alternative environments through out the state.

A.A.A.E. has three main goals:

• Provide an instrument through which educators can communicate and network statewide with other Alternative Educators.
• Gather and disseminate information which is relevant to Alternative Educators.
• Provide a unified voice for Alternative Education practitioners in Arkansas.

AAAE Election of Officers

The following are positions that will be voted upon during the annual conference in Hot Springs.

• PRESIDENT
• VICE PRESIDENT
• SECRETARY
• DISTRICT 2
• DISTRICT 5 (1)
• DISTRICT 6
• DISTRICT 8

There are currently appointed people serving in these positions and they will need to be officially elected.

The AAAE Constitution states that the openings in district and state offices of the organization must be posted on the AAAE Website for 30 days, starting prior to June 1 and allowed to stay posted for 30 days.

If you are interested in running for one of these positions please notify Jacque Reese. Nominations may also be sent to Jacque.Reese@hmhpub.com.
We will post a complete list from the nominating committee after the official time for the notice outlined in the AAAE Constitution (revised, 2011.)

Voting will take place during the AAAE state conference this summer.

Please visit the AAAE Constitution on this website for the criteria and duties of each of these positions.

Through the non-profit FIRST Center each participating ALE has an opportunity to participate in a specifically designed "club" experience for ALE students. These three sessions are designed to fully train and educate ALE personnel in this exciting club opportunity.
