Little Rock School District leaders on Thursday narrowed the scope of plans for repurposing some campuses to increase efficiency and cut costs but made no final decisions, leaving in a bit of limbo the building of a new high school in the northwest part of the city.
After spending November asking Little Rock School District residents to generate and react to ideas for saving money and using school campuses more efficiently, Superintendent Jermall Wright and his staff have drafted broad recommendations in eight categories for School Board consideration.
The meeting came after there were rumors that Parkview High School would be closed because of the construction at West Little Rock High School.
Little Rock Superintendent Jermall Wright said Friday that district staff will use the Thanksgiving holiday to begin assembling proposals for possibly closing and/or re-purposing campuses for cost savings.
