The Farmington School District will look toward building a new junior high school for eighth and ninth grades on land it has purchased near the high school on Arkansas 170.
All five Farmington school campuses will have new security cameras next year that will record around the clock, have additional storage capacity and facial recognition capabilities and be much easier for staff to use, according to school officials.
The Farmington School Board voted Tuesday to require face masks indoors and when social distancing is not possible for teachers, students and everyone present on school campuses or in school buses or vehicles, according to a news release from the school district.
