North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) is a public school district headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas, United States.

History

LRSD vs. PCSSD (desegregation)

The three school districts within the county—Little Rock School District (LRSD), North Little Rock School District (NLRSD), and Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD)—have been involved in a desegregation case that the courts determined were unconstitutionally segregated and placed under court supervision since 1982. After numerous actions were satisfied, including incorporating those schools within the City of Little Rock boundaries to be unitary with the LRSD, those actions led to the annexation of J. A. Fair High School from PCSSD to LRSD in 1987. In 2007, the courts determined that all actions by LRSD were completed and that court supervision continues until NLRSD and PCSSD actions are completed.^[2]
