  • MAKING THE CASE: Earle superintendent Rickey Nix

The State Board of Education is meeting today to determine whether three school districts – the North Little Rock School District, Pulaski County Special School District, and Earle School District – should remain classified as “in fiscal distress.” Each district received notice from the Arkansas Department of Education and had the opportunity to appeal. The North Little Rock School District did not file an appeal. The board voted that NLRSD will remain classified as in fiscal distress. Right now, the Earle School District is making its case as to why the distressed classification should be lifted. You can watch online here.

The board voted that the Earle School District should keep its “in distress” status as well (Details on the jump).
