Freer board hailed by teachers union
The Little Rock Education Association is among the organizations and individuals celebrating the lifting last week of state restrictions on Little Rock School Board authority.
Those restrictions or guardrails, which were imposed until the district exited Level 5 of the state accountability system, barred the School Board from recognizing the Little Rock Education Association for contract bargaining.
Association President Teresa Knapp Gordon said in a prepared statement that the systemic and curricular changes that occurred in the district and resulted in its exit from Level 5 were the result of efforts by teachers.
