The North Little Rock Board of Education approved the Superintendent's Seventh Street Reconfiguration and Transformation Plan, which will create an academic-themed community school and will integrate high-interest, project-based learning at each grade level.

The Board also approved the stipend proposal for all licensed staff at the school in an effort to attract, retain, and reward high-quality leaders, teachers, and staff.

The name of the school will not change at this time.

The Board of Education voted to approve a bonus payout to Crestwood Elementary School staff who were employed at the school during the 2021-2022 academic year. The bonus comes as a reward for staff following the students' performance on the last spring's ACT Aspire. The school placed in the Top 6%-10% in the state.

The Arkansas School Recognition Program, a component of the Arkansas Department of Education, provides funds to schools for achievement in growth and performance. In all, more than 178 public schools across the state are poised to receive reward money, which can be used on faculty and staff bonuses, educational equipment and materials, or personnel to assist with improving or maintaining student performance.

Mrs. Yaa McNulty, the Coordinator of Accountability, Assessment, and Data Management, presented NWEA testing data from the winter testing window. Our students showed a great deal of growth. The results also show the areas of improvement before students take ACT Aspire this month.

Dr. Brouke Reynolds, the Coordinator of Innovative Virtual Learning Programs, and Mr. Sandy Williams, the Director of the North Little Rock Academy, shared information on the reimagined Alternative Learning Environment (ALE), Virtual Academy, and Credit Recovery Program that will go into effect next school year.
