Arkansas and Springdale School District are national leaders in computer science, U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. said Friday during a 90-minute visit at Springdale High School.

President Barack Obama has asked Congress for $4 billion over the next three years in this 2017 budget proposal for a Computer Science for All initiative intended to help states expand access to computer science education. As King talks to federal lawmakers about the president’s proposal, he plans to share what he learned the students, parents and educators in Springdale. They share examples of the ways computer science can inspire students not only in high school, but in getting them to think about future studies in college and careers, King said.

“I will point to what I heard here today about the ways in which computer science can be a central part of a well-rounded education for students,” King said.

King also will share the thoughtfulness of the Springdale School District in making sure teachers have training and support for teaching computer science, he said.

A proposal to name Springdale the "Poultry Capital of the World" is poised to become law in Arkansas after winning final approval from the Legislature on Monday. The House approved Senate Bill 949 on an 85-0 vote.

The Senate unanimously approved the bill last week. A spokesman for Gov. Mike Beebe said he'll likely sign the bill into law.

Sen. Jon Woods of Springdale has said he proposed the bill as a way to help promote the city where Tyson Foods Inc. is headquartered.

The Truth About CIA Opportunities

Some people believe that choosing a career with the CIA means they'll never see their friends and family again. Or, that they'll never make it through our stringent security clearance process unless their background is stellar. Though some of our roles do require a great deal of tact and confidentiality, these myths do not reflect what life is truly like at the CIA. The fact is, we offer a wide range of opportunities that make an important contribution to the security of our nation - from Administrative roles, to Science and Technology, to information Analysis, to Languages, to Clandestine. So, you can participate in any number of professional areas and know that you're making a difference for America.

Diversity at the CIA

On the international stage, the CIA is the eyes and ears of America and, at times, its hidden hand. Collecting intelligence that matters. Providing relevant, timely and objective analysis. Preempting threats or achieving United States policy objectives at the direction of the President through covert means. All of these activities require a workforce that reflects the talent, values and demographics of our nation - the most diverse nation on the planet. It is through the contributions of the individual expertise, dedication, perspectives and cultures of all of our professionals that we are empowered to achieve our mission objectives. Your unique qualities can become one of our most valuable assets to ensure the national security of the United States and protect our American life and ideals.

The Agency's inclusive environment challenges every member of our work force to possess and maintain the highest level of personal and professional integrity; to work effectively with others as part of a team; to be innovative and take calculated risks; to adapt to an ever-changing environment; to take responsibility and be personally accountable for all that they do; and to continuously seek to improve themselves. So, while you're working with smart, focused people from all types of backgrounds, you are expected to expand your mind. Look deeper.
