Board approves consent items, two property sales and Teach for America agreement; financial report accepted
Summary
At its Feb. 27 meeting the Little Rock School District Board of Education approved the consent agenda, accepted the January 2025 financial report, authorized two surplus-property sales and approved a Teach for America services agreement (one board member recorded an opposed vote). Several items will return for further administrative follow-up.
The Little Rock School District Board of Education on Feb. 27 approved a package of routine agenda items, accepted the district’s January 2025 financial report, authorized the sale of two surplus properties and voted to enter an educational services agreement with Teach for America.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included personnel changes, community service learning partner applications, a dispersing officer resolution, purchasing reports, donation of property, and round 1 employment recommendation contracts for the 2025–26 school year. The motion to approve the consent agenda passed without a recorded roll-call vote; board members voted “aye” when the chair called for the question.
The board accepted the district’s January 2025 financial report following a presentation from Chief Financial Officer Bailey. The report reflected ongoing collections and noted capital project encumbrances tied to construction and architect services; the board voted to accept the report.
Separately, the board approved resolutions authorizing sale of two pieces of surplus real property: the former Cloverdale Middle School parcel at 6300 Hinkson Road (an offer reported at about $1.93 million) and a small parcel at Lawson Cutoff and David O’Dodd Road (asking price $80,000). Administrators indicated proceeds from a Cloverdale sale would be used to support renovation work at Baseline.
The board voted to approve an educational professional services agreement with Teach for America, capped at 25 participants under the terms presented. The motion passed with one board member recorded as opposed; no roll-call tally by name was taken on the floor.
No formal board action was reported from the executive session that followed the meeting.
The superintendent and staff were directed during the meeting to follow up on several administrative details raised by board members and committees, including outstanding stipend payments and personnel-related concerns.
Documentation: the board’s motions and votes appear in the meeting minutes and in agenda attachments provided to board members prior to the meeting.
