# Student Expulsion Hearing Oct 6, 2026

The Little Rock School District Board held student expulsion hearings on October 7, 2026. For student NW, the board modified the superintendent’s recommendation for a full-year expulsion to run from October 7, 2026, through August 1, 2027; the motion carried. The student’s mother indicated a preference for virtual instruction, and the board discussed continued educational options and outside support. The administration also explained that an earlier expulsion recommendation had been invalidated because of a district due-process paperwork error.

A separate expulsion recommendation for student DS was withdrawn by the administration, and that hearing was closed. For student DJ, the board modified the recommended full-year expulsion to run through June 1, 2027, with the stated aim of allowing the student to demonstrate academic and behavioral progress and potentially return to summer activities. No procurement, contracting, or budget activity was identified.
