Effective immediately, masks are now optional in the North Little Rock School District.
Our district leaders and principals assembled to discuss goals to improve student outcomes at their respective campuses.
The modified lockdown at NLRHS/Center of Excellence has been lifted. All students and staff are safe. The safety and security of students and staff remain our top priority.
Earlier this morning, dozens of students from North Little Rock High School and the Center of Excellence participated in a peaceful protest for a short period of time outside of the building. Upon returning to class, a small group of protesters continued to rally. As a result, administrators initiated a modified lockdown as a precaution. The students and staff are safe and secure, and there is no immediate threat. The safety and security of the students and staff remain our top priority.
Happy Friday!
