Schools in central Arkansas are desperately searching far and wide for dedicated educators for this upcoming school year and with less than a month to go until North Little Rock School District's first day of school, officials said they're trying to overcome a teacher shortage.
Jessica Rayner, the principal of a high school in the Arkansas Delta, has been appointed principal of Seventh Street Elementary School, the North Little Rock school that Superintendent Gregory J. Pilewski is attempting to improve academically with a new staff, grade configuration and academic theme.
The North Little Rock School District invited the Seventh Street Elementary School community to an open interview for two candidates for the school s principal last week.
