In light of today's ruling from a Pulaski County judge concerning a mask mandate, the Superintendent will be meeting with legal counsel to determine immediate next steps. We will keep you updated. We thank our families and staff for taking the survey last week as we sought to gauge our stakeholders' thoughts about masks in the North Little Rock School District. A total of 3,915 people took the survey. Eighty-two percent of the respondents said they support a mask mandate throughout the district. The health and well-being of our students and staff is our number one priority. We thank you for being a part of the North Little Rock School District.
