Change in Policy Regarding Fights

The North Little Rock Board of Education approved a policy change regarding fights, which will take place immediately.

Any student who engages in a physical altercation at any level can be considered for an immediate change in placement to their learning environment. Fighting infractions will be investigated by building administrators, and a minimum of two administrators will investigate the fight to determine if the student is to be removed for a 9 week period.
