The
Little Rock School District Board, in a special meeting, approved a resolution urging the state legislature to reconvene to repeal a ban on mask mandates. The ban, slated to go into effect Wednesday, prohibits government entities, including local public school districts, from imposing mask mandates. The LRSD resolution also empowers
Superintendent Mike Poore to advocate repeal of the law with state leaders.
Last week,
Governor Hutchinson told reporters that he hadn’t heard from local school leaders with concerns about the ban on mask requirements. He’s set to meet with legislative leaders tomorrow, he said.

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas Thursday night, the Little Rock School District Board of Directors agreed to reinstate COVID leave for teachers. The group also agreed to create a new incentive to encourage more employees to get vaccinated.
The COVID leave was reinstated after teachers got an e-mail earlier this month informing them that employees sick with the virus would no longer receive paid time off.

The
Little Rock School District Board on Thursday voted to pay all district employees who can show proof of vaccination a $300 one-time bonus. It also approved the LRSD’s COVID-19 sick leave policy, which is similar to last year’s, rather than a more punitive plan that had been floated before the third surge of the coronavirus in Arkansas.
But how else the LRSD will keep children and educators safe during the pandemic remains a work in progress.
Deputy Superintendent Keith McGee told the board that it’s waiting on the state Division of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide guidance before the district can finalize its plan.
