Chris Heller, attorney for the Little Rock School District, has told School Board members that talks today by attorneys for Pulaski school districts and others with the state attorney general’s office over a settlement of remaining issues in the desegregation case were “positive and productive but preliminary.”
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel also issued a statement and said he’d move quickly to seek responses from state clients.
Heller also distributed a proposed settlement offered by the LRSD on the argument over charter schools. It’s thought-provoking (and likely anger-provoking among those who are pushing to make Pulaski County a free-fire zone for unlimited open enrollment charter schools, no matter the harm they might do to existing pockets of excellence in LRSD.)
