LITTLE ROCK, AR – Former board members of the Little Rock School District have filed a lawsuit challenging the state’s takeover of the district.
According to an Arkansas Times article, former board members Jim Ross, C.E. McAdoo and Diane Curry along with a resident filed the lawsuit in Pulaski County Court, challenging the state takeover on administrative procedure ground.
The plaintiffs believe that ADE has not developed any plan which would significantly change the improvement efforts currently underway in the six schools and that removing a board because schools within the district are in academic distress violates the Arkansas Constitution.
The full lawsuit can be seen here.
