School Board session to focus on search

Establishing a schedule for hiring a new superintendent will be the focus of a Little Rock School Board work session at 6:30 p.m. tonight.

Board members will participate in the session with representatives of BWP & Associates, the executive search firm selected earlier this month to help in finding a new chief executive for the 21,000-student district.

Little Rock School District Superintendent Mike Poore said in December that he will retire at the conclusion of this school year.

There will be no in-person audience and no board action will be taken at the work session.

The public may view the session on the district’s YouTube channel.
