The Stuttgart School Board of Directors held their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, June 8. All members were present, including newly elected board member Victor Johnson.
Superintendent Dr. Rick Gales reported on ongoing construction and future projects at several Stuttgart schools. According to Gales, the largest project in the district is the repair of the roof and HVAC system at Park Avenue Elementary School, where demolition has started. The security system at PAE is also being upgraded.
Board member Todd Barnes requested that Gales give an update on projects related to athletics. Gales said that during a meeting with Athletic Director Josh Price, Assistant Athletic Director Randy Deaton, and High School Principal Jeff McKinney, some upgrades to athletic facilities were recommended.

St. John’s Lutheran School in Stuttgart’s archery teams placed in an Arkansas National Archery in the Schools Program regional tournament in February.
Earlier this month, area students participated in the Arkansas National Archery in the Schools Program State Championship. Normally, teams from 12 regions face off at the state-wide competition held at Bank OZK Arena in Hot Springs. Andrew Skinner, head archery coach at St. John’s Lutheran School in Stuttgart, said this year’s event looked different because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Normally, 100 kids would be shooting at the same time. The environment is a whole day out of school with a lot of things to do. This year, COVID-19 prevented us from getting together,” Skinner said.
