ARKANSAS RIVER EDUCATION SERVICE COOPERATIVE

Located at 912 West 6th in Pine Bluff, Arkansas (71601), the Arkansas River Education Service Cooperative is an open public educational service agency operating within a distant town setting in the Pine Bluff metropolitan area. Classified as a non-charter entity, the organization functions as a regional service provider rather than a traditional local school district.

Reflecting its institutional focus, the 2024–2025 NCES dataset indicates a specialized staffing structure totaling 240.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. This workforce consists of 195.0 FTE support staff members and 45.0 FTE instructional aides, with 0.0 FTE assigned as classroom teachers. Located within U.S. Congressional District 0504, State Senate District 05008, and State House District 05065, the cooperative supports its regional educational community through its administrative base.
