FORT SMITH The School Board put the brakes on possibly changing where Barling Elementary School students will attend high school, despite survey data showing the idea s apparent popularity.
BARLING One city director said he feels Barling students are being targeted in a School District proposal to move which high school they attend because they aren t in Fort Smith city limits. Another said the academic programs at the new school aren t as strong as the one students attend now.
BARLING The Fort Smith School District is considering moving the attendance area for Barling Elementary students so they eventually attend Southside High School.
