Who runs this Arkansas school system

Karen Walters is the state-published superintendent.

The statewide directory also names the people responsible for public finance, safety, civil-rights access, special education, nutrition, family services, technology, and public information. Those useful contacts appear first. The source does not publish the school-board roster, so Election.org does not pass administrators off as board members.

How board seats are organized

The state publishes 5 mapped board zones for this district.

These are official election-zone records, not attendance zones. Population values are the source's 2020 Census field where published.

The board roster is still missing

Named administrators are not a substitute for elected governance.

  • Current board-member names, officer roles, seat numbers, terms, and vacancies
  • The exact at-large or zoned election plan when the GIS layer returns no zones
  • Upcoming filings and candidates, certified result history, and campaign disclosures
  • Normalized meetings, agendas, minutes, votes, policies, contracts, vendors, and decision history

Source: Arkansas Department of Education School Personnel Directory and Arkansas Secretary of State school-board zones via the Arkansas GIS Office, checked 2026-08-30. Election.org omits every person-level email, phone, fax, and street address from the personnel export; only district-level contact fields are retained. A dated directory row is not proof of continued service after the snapshot.

Source-reported nominal dollars. Amount fields are converted from source thousands to dollars. No inflation adjustment is applied. An exact identifier links published source rows; it does not erase consolidations, closures, reorganizations, or other real institutional changes between years. Constant-dollar comparisons use BLS CPI-U series CUUR0000SA0, annual U.S. city average; this is not a local cost-of-living index. Joined by exact Census PID6 or NCES LEAID; names are never used.

Still needed for a complete civic record

The federal layer is useful—but it is not the whole school board.

  • Current board members, officer roles, exact seat numbers, term expirations, present vacancies, and appointment history
  • The next election, filings and candidates, certified result history, and campaign disclosures
  • Address-level lookup against the published school-board-zone polygons and the separate attendance boundary
  • Normalized meeting agendas, minutes, recorded votes, and decision history
  • School-level outcomes, audited contracts and vendors, and inflation-adjusted spending comparisons

Evidence boundary

What each source proves—and what it does not.

Established by the published records

  • The entity or system appears in the 2025 Census listing.
  • Its Census category, identifier, and functioning/dormant field.
  • Only the location, function, population, enrollment, and contact fields actually published.
  • The current Arkansas personnel directory reports the superintendent and student-service roles shown above; the separate Secretary of State GIS layer reports the mapped school-board zones returned for this exact LEA ID.

Not established by these records

  • That administrators are school-board members, or that a person remains in the directory role after the dated snapshot.
  • The current board roster, terms, vacancies, election calendar, candidates, results, meeting votes, contracts, or—when no zones are returned—a proven at-large voting plan.
  • The exact geographic service boundary or that a reported website remains current.
