A Sylvan Hills High School - North teacher is on administrative leave and a group of students suspended in connection to a class project that didn’t conform to district policies or conduct code, Pulaski County Special School District spokesman Jessica Duff said. Duff said district officials became aware of a problem at the school, which serves ninth- and 10th-graders, on Monday. She declined to say how many students were suspended, nor would she elaborate otherwise on the incident that led to the disciplinary actions. A widely shared Facebook post, however, says that a group of entrepreneurship class students — who were assigned to create a marketable product — produced a certificate offering “Congratulations!” and giving the bearer a “pass” to use a racially offensive term. The certificate, which is pictured with the post, includes the photos and signatures of former President Barack Obama and the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther … [Read more...] about Arkansas high school teacher placed on leave, students suspended after class project

2 new schools in county are called unequal
FILE PHOTO: Scott Young with the Pulaski County Special School District leads U.S. District Judge D. Price Marshall Jr. (right), court reporter Christa Jacimore and others on a tour Thursday Aug. 9, 2018 of the new Mills High School. - Photo by Staton Breidenthal An Aug. 9 tour of three schools in the Pulaski County Special School District vividly demonstrated differences in the quality of facilities, the judge presiding over a 35-year-old federal lawsuit said Monday. While impressed with the newly built Mills University Studies High School in the southeastern part of the county, which serves communities with a high percentage of black students, the accommodations there pale in comparison with those at the newly built Joe T. Robinson Middle School in the western, predominantly white area of the county, U.S. District Judge D. Price Marshall Jr. told attorneys Monday. He told attorney John Walker, who represents a group of black intervenors in an ongoing desegregation case, that he … [Read more...] about 2 new schools in county are called unequal

School district in LR no longer biggest in state
There's been a change at the top. As it stands now -- and if early 2018-19 school year numbers hold up in the coming weeks and months -- the distinction of being Arkansas' largest school district has shifted from the Little Rock School District in central Arkansas to the Springdale School District in the northwest part of the state. Springdale's enrollment earlier last week was 23,480 in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Little Rock's enrollment as of Aug. 24, the 10th day of school, was 22,644 for the same grades. That's a difference of 836 between the two districts. Jim Rollins, the 36-year superintendent of the Springdale district, said Friday that he was surprised by the ranking but also that he is well aware of the growing population in his region and of the district's annual enrollment growth. That growth is now typically about 300 students per year after earlier being as many as 1,000 a year. "It has never been our goal to be the largest district in Arkansas," Rollins said. … [Read more...] about School district in LR no longer biggest in state
