Board Meeting - Jun 25 2026

The Little Rock School District Board meeting held on June 25, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The board approved contracts and expenditures funded by Title funds, including a $60,000 contract with MH Education Solutions for the LRSD Leads inaugural cohort and executive coaching leadership services for networks two and three. They also approved the adoption of selected supplemental instructional tools for literacy and math, with schools given some choice among vetted options to optimize costs and effectiveness. Additionally, the board authorized an amendment to the contract with Performance Services Incorporated for the Renew America School Grant, which supports capital improvement projects at district schools. The meeting also addressed policy updates related to Title 9 and discussed the potential pilot of a micro school model, though no final decisions were made due to pending state guidance. Financial reports indicated the district is managing expenditures and revenues closely, with some anticipated shortfalls offset by savings in salaries and benefits. Board members emphasized the importance of facility maintenance and proposed school visits to better assess conditions. Public comments highlighted concerns about neglected facilities, underfunded programs, and student safety, prompting calls for improved resource allocation and repairs.
