We seek individuals who are radically relentless about re-envisioning the landscape of public education in Little Rock Arkansas and making a significant difference in the lives of public school students parents school leaders teachers and central office employees.

As part of a comprehensive transformation effort to become a world-class school district LRSD intends to attract and develop a high-performing competitively compensated and a mission-driven educator workforce which will lead efforts to drive instructional excellence and achieve significant outcomes for ALL LRSD students in every LRSD school.
Among school-related factors we know teachers have the biggest impact on student achievement (Opper 2019). School principals responsible for establishing and maintaining the conditions for which teachers work have the second largest impact on student outcomes but principals effects are larger in scope because they are averaged over all students in a school rather than a classroom (Grisson Egalite & Lindsay 2021). For these reasons LRSD is implementing a new process to identify a pool of high-quality school leaders ready to #reimagine the schooling experience for our students in Little Rock.
