You Can Not expect this NEW Board just since October to rightly clean up the mess that the past leadership has taken them down in such a short time. Bill Vasques vehemently requested to the past leaders, Tim Clark Charley Wood, and Danny Gilliland to not take us down this road. He lead the Community in sincere Prayer outside the PCSSD office for Guideance. Two of the three were replaced and he was elected President shortly after. Give him a chance to lead and he will. I was there and I know him personally. He is an esteemed gentleman and the new board members should be given time to clean up this embarrassment. They are reapping what was sown to them from a past board leadership. I implore everyone to talk to your senators and representatives to tell them Given a chance this board will bring back integrity and student morale with parents. News Media where are you when you know you pushed your agendas down their throats when we as Parents and Teachers were working on correcting the previous Board's Behavior. We had to create a solidarity push to remove them bad apples and now the Character flaws are being revealed of the past President. Do your job Fox 16,KARK, KTHV. We tried to tell you but you ignored us for your own purposes.

I wish someone would explain how booze, a personal watercraft and women's underwear purchasing with tax payer money has to do with having the students' best interest at heart??? The entire school district needs to be under investigation not just the school board. And put LRSD on that list as well. I only have 1600 characters left in this post and that is not nearly enough for me to express how I truly feel about the school systems around here. I feel sorry for the few good educators who have to put up with this bull...

The whole district should be dissolved. Schools north of the river into a NLR consolidated school district. South of the river into a LR consolidated school district. The money saved on imcompetence and administrative salaries could be put to use for the benefit of ALL the NLR/LR schools. Jacksonville and Maumelle are large enough and have enough tax base that they could remain seperate districts if they choose.

some of us parents have no choice but to send our children to these schools so I am for the getting rid of the board. These members have not and will never have our children in mind. There is to much money being taken out of this district for no reason by these members. So if state legislative audit committee asks for a vote about this I would be glad to vote.

I wish the idiots in charge would straighten things out once and for all with the schools because I'm sick and tired of hearing about it for the past 30 years. I wouldn't want my children to attend school here if I was a parent.
